Effect of broken cloudiness on the reconstruction of the reflection coefficients of the earth surface areas observed through gaps in the cloudy field

abstract Photographic measurements of the earth-surface displacement were made on the gnome event, an underground nuclear detonation near Carlsbad, New Mexico, November 1961. One long range and three short range photo stations were used to provide complementary coverage. Motionless inertia weights were measured against graduated targets rigidly anchored to the surface. The experiment is described in detail including target/weight arrangement, camera specifications, and photo station locations in relation to Surface Zero. Analysis of results from 6 films from close-in stations and one film from the long range station are reported. The peak displacement measured was slightly greater than six feet at a location 106 feet from surface zero.

Dry Conditions

Generally, pile foundation is typically chosen to support heavy structures. However, the developments of expressions to determine the pile capacity is usually based on fully saturated and completely dry conditions. In fact, almost 40 percent of natural soils on the earth surface are in an unsaturated state. Thus, in this paper, an expression for pile capacity in homogeneous unsaturated sand layer is developed. The simulations using developed expression are performed and discussed. Typical results show that the pile capacity and the factor of safety are affected by matric suction. However, the influence of matric suction may be ignored for a long pile.

Two Factors

The interior of the Earth has smaller linear velocity than the Earth surface, but larger inertia due to gravity. This generates longer period of decelerations or accelerations in the interior producing strain with vertical and horizontal components. Faster linear velocity results in larger strain. Focal depth is the compromise of these two factors. Slender potential energy produces focal depth with hundreds of kilometers deep.
