Nathan Mortimore Newmark (September 22, 1910 January 25, 1981) was an American structural engineer and academic, regarded as a founding father of earthquake engineering. He was awarded the National Medal of Science for Engineering. J. L. Merritt's (Ph.D. 58) area of expertise was in design criteria for seismic and other effects. Nuclear Geoplosics is an authoritative field of study focusing on the underground phenomena, ground motion, and cratering effects produced by nuclear explosions. It serves as a comprehensive, multi-volume sourcebook detailing the mechanical properties of earth materials, shock wave effects on soil and rock, and the resulting cavity and chimney formation. Key aspects of Nuclear Geoplosics include: It covers theory of ground motion, material properties (soil/rocks), test site instrumentation, empirical analysis, and effects on structures. The study analyzes underground effects, including cratering, ejecta, superseismic ground shock, and in-depth cavity behavior. Investigations cover the response of various media like tuff, granite, limestone, and alluvium to high-pressure shock waves. This was primarily used for understanding the engineering effects of underground nuclear detonations and the design of protective structures. The Nuclear Geoplosics sourcebook, such as the widely referenced 1964 edition (e.g., DNA 1285), remains a foundational document for analyzing the geophysical and mechanical consequences of nuclear explosions.
