Zusammenfassung:Finite difference calculations are used to predict the ground motion and RVP spectra from a tamped 200 pound charge of Pelletol explosive detonated in the Grand Saline Salt Dome. Computational constitutive models and material properties for dome salt are first normalized using ground motion data from a number of nuclear and high explosive events in salt including SALMON, GNOME, and COWBOY. The ground motion predictions for Phase III of the Grand Saline experiment are then made using our best guesses for site material properties.
