Centrifuge application of fibre Bragg gratings: pile axial loads and wall bending moments [PDF]
One challenge for geotechnical centrifuge testing of soil-structure interaction problems is the reliable measurement of induced structural strains/forces. This paper presents a novel application of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors for strain measurement

Analysis of transient seepage through a river embankment by means of centrifuge modelling [PDF]
Earthen river embankments are typically in unsaturated conditions during their lifetime and the degree of saturation within their bodies may vary significantly throughout the year, due to seasonalfluctuations of the river stage, as well as infiltrations ...

An expansive clay for centrifuge modelling [PDF]
This paper explores the development of an expansive soil which can be repeatedly reproduced for use in centrifuge models to investigate soil-structure interaction problems involving expansive soils. The study considered two materials, namely a sand-bentonite mixture and a naturally occurring, highly expansive clay.

Modelling failure mechanisms of soft cliff profiles [PDF]
A large proportion of the 11,000 km coastline of the United Kingdom is backed by soft cliffs. These cliffs are subject to frequent slumping and landslip events, particularly where sea and ground water percolates into the soil and rock.

Scaling principles of debris flow modeling using geotechnical centrifuge
The scale effect of debris flow hinders the in-depth understanding of debris flow dynamics. The geotechnical centrifuge can replicate the appropriate stress states of the prototype through an equivalent elevated centrifugal acceleration field.

Centrifuge Modelling of the Impact of Excavation with Partition Piles on Adjacent Existing Tunnel
Recently, due to more excavation projects near existing tunnels, the research on tunnel deformation control has become very important and urgent. However, the systematic study of the control effectiveness of partition piles, one of the commonly used ...

Fly-by-Pi: Open source closed-loop control for geotechnical centrifuge testing applications
Geotechnical centrifuges are valuable instruments for physical modelling of complex geotechnical problems in a controlled laboratory setting. In comparison to full-scale testing, scaled models are cost effective to construct and instrument and, when ...
