Abstract
A limestone for which mechanical behavior is well determined is used as a basis for a study of the effects of mechanical property variations on apparent seismic yield for contained nuclear explosions. The resulting variations in apparent seismic yield, up to 25% for this study, form an irreducible lower limit on the accuracy of seismic yield determination if further event-specific information on the mechanical properties is unavailable. 9 refs., 4 figs.
