Book Description
In Project DANNY BOY a nuclear device of low yield was detonated in basalt at the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Test Site as a part of Weapons Effects Tests. The Waterways Experiment Station determined pertinent physical properties of the basalt and developed a grout mixture with matching properties for use in grouting scientific instruments in holes drilled near the shot location; grouted 8 deep and 9 surface holes; and cast specimens of the field-mixed grout to determine its physical properties at shot time.

Book Description
Project SMALL BOY involved the detonation of a low-yield nuclear device in Area 5 of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Test Site. In connection with this project, the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station was respon sible for (a) design of a grout mixture with specified physical properties matching as nearly as possible those of the silt formation at the test site, (b) grouting of instrument holes and surface pressure-gage mounts, and (c) determining from specimens of the field-mixed grout its physi cal properties at shot time. Results of physical tests on the field-mixed grout specimens indicate that the maximum static tangent modulus of elas ticity in compression was somewhat higher than desired; however, the density and ultrasonic pulse velocity of the grout satisfactorily matched that of the in-situ silt and fulfilled the job specifications.

Book Description
In Project HANDCAR/PAINTED PONY, a low-yield nuclear device was detonated at a depth of 1,3200 feet in a vertical hole. The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station was responsible for design of instrument grout mixtures with specified physical properties matching as nearly as possible those of the subsurface formations at the test site, design of a stemming grout mixture with specified heat of hydration and compressive strength properties, supervision of the field mixing and pumping of these grout mixtures, supervision of the device emplacement hole stemming operations, providing necessary instrumentation to determine levels of grout and pea gravel down-hole and determining the physical properties of field-mixed grout specimens on device detonation date.
