Centrifuge Model Tests of Rainfall-Induced Landslides
2015Rainfall-induced landslides and debris flows constitute very serious threats to human lives and infrastructure. In many cases, rainfall characteristics which cause the initiation of landslides are not very well determined and this might lead to the misunderstanding of the failure mechanism, the kinematic characteristics and the run-out distance of the ...

Centrifuge model tests on geotextile-reinforced slopes
Geosynthetics International, 2007This paper addresses the static response of geotextile-reinforced slopes resting on a firm foundation to the self-weight loading imposed in a geotechnical centrifuge at pre-failure and at failure. A series of centrifuge tests were carried out on model geotextile-reinforced sand slopes with different types of reinforcement, spacing and slope ...

Centrifuge Model Tests on Seismic Slope Failure
2012In this study, experimental analyses were carried out to investigate characteristics of slope failure by earthquakes and potential risks of secondary failure. A 1/50 scale model slopes were made of Kanto loam to simulate the shallow unsaturated soil in slopes.

Centrifuge Modeling of Solid Waste Landfill Systems—Part 2: Centrifuge Testing of Model Waste
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2006Abstract This paper presents the use of the model waste developed in the companion paper, “Centrifuge modeling of solid waste landfill systems—Part 1: Development of a model municipal solid waste,” in centrifuge testing. Two centrifuge tests were performed using the model waste to understand the static and dynamic behavior of municipal ...

Numerical modelling of centrifuge tests on tunnel–soil systems
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2014The number of tunnels in seismic regions has grown significantly in recent decades. It has usually been assumed that tunnels perform better than surface structures during seismic events. However, recent cases have shown that tunnels can be significantly damaged by seismic events.

Key Engineering Materials, 2010
The technique of centrifuge model test has been widely used in geotechnical mechanics and engineering because of its low cost and low test scale. In order to investigate the dynamic behaviors of the geotechnical model under explosion, we are developing an explosion geotechnical centrifuge.

Tsunami Resilient Foundation for Breakwater: Centrifuge Model Tests
2021Many coastal protection structures collapsed due to the past earthquakes and tsunamis. For example, several breakwaters damaged during the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. Due to the failure of the breakwaters, the tsunami waves could not be blocked by the breakwaters.

PHOTOGRAMMETRY IN CENTRIFUGAL TESTING OF SOIL MODELS
The Photogrammetric Record, 1973AbstractSince 1969 photogrammetric techniques have been employed as a means of obtaining precise measurements of surface movement of soil models spinning in a centrifuge at a speed of up to 45 m s‐1. Over 100 soil model tests have been performed on about 12 different types of soil stability problem during this period.

Centrifuge Model Tests on Bearing Capacity of Clay
Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1984A series of centrifugal model tests to investigate the bearing capacity of a strip footing on normally consolidated Kawasaki clay was performed. The proposed prototype is a normally consolidated clay foundation having undrained shear strength increasing with depth.

Cyclic Static Model Pile Tests in a Centrifuge
Offshore Technology Conference, 1979ABSTRACT Scaling relations for soil studies indicate that certain model behaviors will represent correctly those of the prototype if the model is subjected to an acceleration proportional to the model scale. The most convenient way of accomplishing this is to perform model tests in a large centrifuge. Lateral cyclic
