Geophysical investigations in Sweden for the characterization of a site for radioactive waste disposal — an overview
104A Cahbration precision for neutron moisture meters was ~mproved by correcting for texture and bulk density variations with depth For moisture determinations in-field It was necessary to have separate calibration equations for each soil layer to account for individual bulk density-moisture content relations Once calibrated, neutron moisture meters gave results comparable with other instrumentation
853339 Investigation of in situ testing devices (In Norwegian) Lume, T, Lacasse, S Norw Geotech inst Publ N150, 1984, P9-10 NGI is evaluating tesU.ngprocedures and methods of interpretation of in situ testing devices for offshore work Cone penetrometer, piezocone, field vane, dilatometer and pressuremeter measurements have been taken m soft and mediumstiff clay and sand at four sites
853340 Radiography of soil samples offshore (In Norwegian) Lacasse, S Norw Geotech lnst Publ NI50, 1984, P12 Site investigation of soft samples in the North Sea has been faclhtated by the movement of a radiography and photography laboratory to an offshore site Non-destructwe methods are used to investigate sample disturbance, soil-type and heterogeneity, gas presence, fissurauon or other such features Automatic constant strain rate oedometer tests are camed out to control sample quality
853341 Design process in rock engineering. Technical note Bemawski, Z T Rock Mech V17, N3, July-Sept 1984, P183-190 The need to adopt a similar design philosophy for rock engineering as already exists m other engineering dtsciplmes is emphasized The engineering demgn process is described and design approaches and methods for rock engmeenng outhned
853342 Error analysis in estimating soil water content from neutron probe measurements: 1. Local standpoint Haverkamp, R, Vauchn, M, Vachaud, G Soil Sci V137, N2, Feb 1984, P78-90 The calibration of a neutron moisture meter and its use to gather moisture content data with two different probes is described Analysis of the errors in determmauon of an individual water content value shows the variance has instrument and calibration components For soft water storage, the variance associated with the rule of integration of water content profile must be added, and this can be significant Of the two neutron tubes used, the one with the higher count rate gave lower variances

July 1984, P187-201 Prospectwe nuclear waste disposal sites m Sweden are evaluated using magnetic, electromagnetic, seismic and electrical methods and by dnlling boreholes, to provide data on temperature, salinity and gamma ray intensity The geophysical data, plus that from geological and hydrological mvesugatlons, is used to prepare a model of the site to define the geometry used for modelhng groundwater flow Borehole logs provide data on faulting, whilst temperature and salinity logs provide the best hydrauhc information The practical and potential use of other mvestigatwe methods and the vahdlty of data provided by all the descnbed methods is considered
