Centrifuge Modelling of an Internal Erosion Mechanism [PDF]

open access: yesScour and Erosion, 2010
Suffusion is an internal erosion mechanism, which means the transport of fine particles within the soil due to hydraulic interflows. With the objective to characterize this mechanism and to study a scale effect presented in literature, a specific centrifuge bench is designed. Test specimens of mixture of sand and kaolinite are compacted in rigid walled

Centrifuge Modeling of NAPLs (Preliminary Title) Centrifuge Modeling of Flow Processes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Abstract : The research investigated the use of a geotechnical centrifuge to model nonaqueous phase liquids (NPALs) flowing through a porous media. Experiments modeled saturated and unsaturated flow through homogeneous and heterogeneous sands, smooth parallel plates, and rough rock fissures.

Centrifuge modelling of unsaturated slopes subjected to the integrated effect of groundwater and rainfall infiltration [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
The stability of unsaturated soil slopes is comprehensively discussed with the rainfall characteristics. However, pre-existing groundwater table is also common in many tropical mountainous regions. Additionally, perched water table could be generated due

Geosynthetic overlap for reinforced piled embankment: Centrifuge modelling [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
The overlap of two geosynthetic strips, located at the base of the granular load transfer platform and above rigid inclusions, is being studied on small-scale instrumented models using the moving tray device in the geotechnical centrifuge at the ...

Multi-stratigraphic centrifugal model test method for determination of self-weight collapsible deformation of loess

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020
The self-weight collapsible deformation of loess is harmful to the upper buildings. The existing indoor collapsibility and on-site water immersion test method for loess are difficult to satisfy the requirements of the project construction in terms of the

Dynamic centrifuge modelling tests on seismic response of super-high core dams

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022
In order to study the seismic behaviors of a super-high core dam under design seismic intensity, 4 dynamic centrifuge modelling tests are carried out. The models have the same scale and different centrifugal accelerations. Thus, the acceleration response,

Incremental model for pore water pressure and its applicability in centrifuge modelling

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022
The centrifugal model test is an increasingly mature and widely-used physical test method. However, there is few researches on the constitutive relationship, and the researches on the constitutive relationship under the real stress and boundary ...
