950. ABSTRACT
Instruments are described which were used to
measure the blast effects on the structures during
Operation Greenhouse. Measurements made on buildings
included air pressure, acceleration, displacement,
strain, earth pressure, footing pressure and
time-of-break measurements. In addition Stimascope
(sound-time-in materials) tests, Whittemore strain gage
tests, surveying measurements, and natural periods of
vibration measurements, were made before, and repeated
after, the blast. The magnitude of the task limited the
type of end measurements to the simplest that would give
adequate information. Availability, cost, and ease with
which gage responses could be remotely recorded on
magnetic tape, were also controlling factors in the
selection of the instruments used. A list of the
equipment, photographs, diagramatic drawings and wiring
circuits, and data from preliminary tests of the
equipment are included.
