Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to present a compilation and analysis of data concerning the behavior of the base surge and related surface phenomena produced by underground explosions in the Dugway Tests in Soils and the Operation JANGLE HE Tests. These two sets of data were combined in order to provide a wide range of charge weight and charge depth and to determine some of the effects of soil properties on surface phenomena. The formulas and conclusions presented herein were obtained almost entirely from records of TNT charges weighing from 320 to 320,000 lb fired at scaled depths in dry clay, dry sand, and wet clay.
