structure,

The base remained in place but was badly cracked; the tie dow

rods (U-bolts) sheared off at the upper plate on the lagoon side, and the
anchor bolts sheared off at the base on the ocean side. As was anticipa-

ted, this structure was a complete failure.

‘Stations 12, 14, 15, and 19 ~ Reinforced Concrete Base with Steel
Frame, These stations were not damaged, and design is considered adequate,

Station 18 - Reinforced Concrete Structure. These structures were
not damaged. The Aomon Group structure showed a horizontal crack about

one-hundredth of an inch wide approximately eight inches below the roof
along one side wall and two small diagonal cracks above the door. The
wells adjacent to these structures show no damage. The design for these
structures is adequate.

Stations 20 a, b, c,d, e, and f - Reinforced Concrete Wall on Base.

At Engebi, Stations 20 a and b tipped over towards the lagoon; Station
20 c tipped about 20° from vertical towards the ocean. At all stations,
the base remained in place; the failure occurred at the connection between
the wall and base and consisted of elongation and bending of reinforcing
steel and spalling of. concrete on the compression side of wall, All other
structures at this site were not damaged,
On Runit, Stations 20 a, b, and c tipped over. Failures occurred in
the foundation or in the connection of the wall to the footing. The failures did not cause loss of data.
Stations 21 a, b, and c — Reinforced Concrete on Base.

These struc-

tures all were tipped over towards the lagoon by the Engebi blast. All
bases remained in place; failure occurred at the connection between wall

and base, It consisted of elongation and bending of reinforcing steel and
spalling of concrete on the compression side of wall. Design of these
structures is considered inadequate,
Stations 23 3 and b ~ Reinforced Concrete Structures.

The 23a struc-

tures are Sandstone structures rehabilitated for Operation Greenhouse,

The Runit structure is in good condition. The Aomon Group structure
showed considerable cracking but was believed to be sound, The Engebi

structure showed a great deal of cracking as well as some inside spalling

and was not considered to be structurally sound.

The Station 23b structure showed no blast damage, and the design is

considered adequate,

Station 25 ~ Reinforced Concrete Structure.

This structure had not

been opened so that an interior inspection could be made,

The exposed

portions of the exterior showed no serious damage. Diagonal cracks of
about two~hundreths of an inch existed above the door opening, and there
was a horizontal crack of the same width along the north wall about two
and one-half feet down from the roof. The earth protection for this
structure was blown away to a point about three feet down from the roof,
