Centrifuge modelling of unsaturated slopes subjected to the integrated effect of groundwater and rainfall infiltration [PDF]
E3S 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

Centrifuge modelling of piled embankments [PDF]
, 2008 It is becoming increasingly necessary to construct on land that was previously considered inappropriate for construction, such as soft clay. The properties of soft clay make it highly compressible and low in shear strength, meaning that bearing capacity failure and excessive settlement are of concern.

Twin-tunnelling-induced changes to clay stiffness [PDF]
, 2018 With urban tunnel construction growing worldwide, the ability to accurately predict the ground and structural response to tunnelling and the associated risks is now more important than ever before. Engineers are expected to consider all aspects of tunnel

Geosynthetic overlap for reinforced piled embankment: Centrifuge modelling [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe 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 ...

Use of Ricker motions as an alternative to pushover testing [PDF]
, 2015 When undertaking centrifuge studies on seismic soil–structure interaction, it is useful to be able to define the pseudo-static ‘pushover’ response of the structure. Normally, this requires separate centrifuge experiments with horizontal actuators.

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

Interaction of piled foundation with a rupturing normal fault [PDF]
, 2013 Post-seismic observations in the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have indicated that piled foundations may be less suitable than stiff mat foundations in defending a structure against a major normal fault rupturing underneath.

An expansive clay for centrifuge modelling [PDF]
, 2019 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.
