Centrifuge Modelling of an Internal Erosion Mechanism [PDF]
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]
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]
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

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