Explosive Treatment to Correct Swelling Shales Project I 70-1(61)
The report describes the testing, construction, and two years of performance evaluations of the explosive treatment of swelling shales under a highway cut. Actively swelling Mancos Shale has caused maintenance problems in this section of I 70 north of Grand Junction since its construction in 1964. The low level explosions disorient the bedded shale and lower its density similar to treatment by sub-excavation and recompaction at approximately one-fifth the cost.
