Abstract
This Reference Document presents a method for controlling and monitoring the soil conditions during the preparation of buried explosive test sites. This method includes a step-by-step approach to ensure required information is gathered for the planning and the execution of the test site fill process. The document also presents theory related to soil condition and phase composition, and examples of calculations. Although requiring some calculations and additional actions during the site preparation process, the method proposed is simple to implement and will result in more efficient test site preparation operations. This will also provide more accurate and consistent test conditions for conducting buried explosive charge tests.
