Centrifuge Model Test of Vacuum Surcharge Preloading

CICTP 2015, 2015
Vacuum surcharge preloading for stabilizing soft soil foundation is becoming an increasingly popular ground improvement technique. Although many studies have been reported in literatures, few articles adopted the centrifuge model test. The Centrifuge model test technique is adopted to simulate a gravity field by changing centrifugal acceleration, in ...

Centrifuge Model Tests of Rainfall-Induced Landslides

2015
Rainfall-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 TESTING OF MODEL MASONRY ARCH BRIDGES.

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Geotechnical Engineering, 1998
The effect of gravity is fundamental in the behaviour of masonry arch bridges, but previous laboratory testing of scale model arches has ignored its effect. A series of centrifuge tests on scale models constructed using real masonry materials is described - the first model arch bridges to be tested in a correctly scaled gravity field. The test geometry

Model tests of silo discharge in a geotechnical centrifuge

Powder Technology, 2016
Abstract Scaled models are often used to study the behaviour of silo discharge, however the effects of gravity on silo discharge have not yet been quantified. In this paper, the effects of gravity on silo discharge and internal flow patterns are investigated with reference to the widely used Beverloo correlation.

Simulation of Ground Loss in Centrifuge Model Tests

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1993
Abstract This note presents a computer-controlled mechanical system developed to simulate ground loss in centrifuge model tests. The main application of the system to date had been in the field of mining subsidence prediction. This involves the replication of total extraction of thin mineral seams at depth.

Cyclic Static Model Pile Tests in a Centrifuge

Offshore Technology Conference, 1979
ABSTRACT 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
