from Station 603 are omitted for irrelevancy because they represent motion of a massive structure on a semielastic earth rather than soil particle motion. Low signal-to-noise ratio and uncertainty of the magnitude of early refracted signals led to omission of Station 650.06 data also.
Corresponding information from Easy __
‘Operation Greenhouse’ is included in the graph of Fig. 1.6. All three sets of data fit approximately: straight lines with negative slopes, These lines are parallel and may be represented by the equation

where A is peak acceleration in g units, W is the radiochemical yield in pounds of TNT, and AR
is the scaled ground range in ft/lb”. The units of K are approximately g-ft?/lb%. The coefficient K has the following values:
