Utah FORGE: Triaxial Direct Shear Results

Description

This submission contains a report and associated data from triaxial direct shear tests conducted by Los Alamos National Laboratory. The samples used were sourced from 16A(78)-32 well core. The primary objectives of this test were to determine the shear strength in both intact and residual states, evaluate dilation against displacement, assess permeability in relation to displacement, time, and normal stress, understand the relationship between aperture and normal stress, and monitor the effluent chemistry as a function of time.
