DTIC AD0751099: Dynamic Soils Investigations. PROJECT BUGGY, Buckboard Mesa, Nevada Test Site, Mercury, Nevada

Dynamic soils investigations were conducted at Buckboard Mesa, Nevada Test Site, Mercury, Nevada, to obtain data on the characteristics of subsurface materials underlying test locations proposed for cratering experiments. Specifically, the investigations were conducted to determine the feasibility of utilizing dynamic techniques to rapidly determine and delineate subsurface materials, thereby reducing the number of soil borings now required for such investigations. The investigations were performed in areas where borings had been previously made in order to compare results with known conditions and also in areas of unknown subsurface composition.
