From soliver at NRAO.EDU Mon Feb 4 12:33:58 2002 From: soliver at NRAO.EDU (Stacy Oliver) Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2002 10:33:58 -0700 Subject: [alma_na] [almanews] ALMA Memo 408 Released Message-ID: ALMA Memo #408 Geotechnical Study Chajnantor Site, II Region, Chile Nobeyama Radio Observatory Luis Rojas (Geo Ambiental Consultores Ltda.) March 2000 The present Report is written by Geo Ambiental Consultores Ltda. and summarizes the geotechnical study of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory Authority Chajnantor Site in the II Region, Chile. The site is a fairly flat area (pampa) at high altitude (approximately 5,000 m above sea level), located at the foot of the Chajnantor and Chasc?n Mountains, not far from The Jama Pass International Road, about 80 km from the town of San Pedro de Atacama. The Nobeyama Radio Observatory Authority plans to install an array of large parabolic antennas at the site. Thus, the foundation engineers require the geotechnical characteristics of the subsurface for their design work. The NRO representatives indicated a total of six locations to drill and investigate. The following Sections summarize the field and laboratory work developed for the project, give a geological description for the area and indicate the design parameters requiered for the development of the infrastructure for the antennas at the six locations. Finally, the Consultant makes recommendations for future developments in the area of the study. Boring logs and photographs of the rock cores are presented in the Appendix.
