In some soils and rock formations of interest, deviations from cube-root scaling are to be expected where nuclear explosives are used to form craters. This is significantly true in the case of soft clays and with stronger clays and saturated sands Inasmuch as underground nuclear explosions to date have been limited to one type of soil, this paper applies some of the ideas of soil mechanics to guide extrapolations to other media (auth)
