...M. S. Sams; J. P. Neep; M. H. Worthington; M. S. King Abstract A series of experiments to determine the elastic properties of a sequence of saturated sedimentary rocks over as wide a frequency range as possible was carried out at the Imperial College borehole test site. These experiments fall...

...J. P. Neep; M. S. Sams; M. H. Worthington; K. A. O'Hara-Dhand Abstract High-resolution crosshole seismic data have been acquired at the Imperial College borehole test site in Northumberland, England. Raypaths between source and receiver were horizontal and parallel to plane layered beds...

.... The observation boreholes, SR4206 and SR4207, were drilled at 127 mm diameter, into the Seaford Chalk Formation, using rotary coring, 10.0 m either side of the pump-out borehole ( Fig. 9 ). Fig. 9. Site set up for pump-out test. The Upnor Formation at this locality is 6.0 m thick, and between 32...

... and attenuation tomograms (in color) calculated by Quan and Harris (1997) at BP's Devine test site. An important series of experiments have been performed by Sams et al. (1997) at the Imperial College borehole test site in northeastern England. Four boreholes were drilled to a depth of a few hundred...

... of the embankment to the design proposed by Terzaghi. Glossop organized for additional boreholes to be undertaken and set up a laboratory that eventually contained an unconfined compression test device, three Casagrande shear boxes, three oedometers and a liquid limit device. That this was the first such laboratory...

... km −1 was estimated with a temperature range between 46°C and 51°C at a depth of 2000 m, considered to be consistent with other UK sites where there is no contribution from high heat production granites. The results of the Thamesmead exploration borehole suggested that the geothermal potential...

... of the Science', but by a most happy coincidence nsured that the award of the same medal to your father, D. M. S. Watson, in I935 is followed by that to his daughter at the same phase of her career. After taking a First at Reading and moving to the tough male-dominated school of your time at Imperial College...
