Modelling failure mechanisms of soft cliff profiles [PDF]
, 2006 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.

Ground movements during diaphragm wall installation in clays [PDF]
, 1993 PhDDiaphragm walls are being used increasingly in connection with building basements and road improvement schemes, particularly in urban areas. Many of these walls retain overconsolidated clay, and the magnitude of the lateral stresses which will act ...

Centrifuge modeling of rocking-isolated inelastic RC bridge piers [PDF]
, 2014 Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations and thereby to dramatically improve the seismic resilience of structures.

Recent centrifuge modelling of offshore geotechnical problems at IWHR [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Centrifuge modelling has been proven to be an efficient and reliable approach for examining offshore geotechnical problems. This study reports the two series of centrifuge tests to understand the behaviour of spudcan penetration in a “soft-stiff-soft ...

A device for rainfall simulation in geotechnical centrifuges [PDF]
Acta Geotechnica, 2021 AbstractRainfall-induced slope instabilities are ubiquitous in nature, but simulation of this type of hazards with centrifuge modelling still poses difficulties. In this paper, we introduce a rainfall device for initiating slope failure in a medium-sized centrifuge. This rainfall system is simple, robust and affordable.

Scaling principles of debris flow modeling using geotechnical centrifuge
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019 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.

Failure mechanisms of a spudcan penetrating next to an existing footprint
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2015 Reinstallation of mobile jack-up rigs next to existing footprints is a problematic operation because the spudcan located near the footprints is subjected to eccentric and/or inclined loading conditions. Geotechnical centrifuge studies have measured these

SN Applied Sciences, 2021 Temperature control is an important limitation to further increase in geotechnical centrifuge power. Although vacuum pumps can reduce windage loss, they also negatively affect heat transfer performance.

Geotechnical centrifuge applications in the teaching of applied soil mechanics
, 2021 This paper presents the characteristics of the new geotechnical centrifuge of the Escuela Colombiana de Ingeniería Julio Garavito, including the installed capacities, future applications, and possibilities that offer the new centrifuge as an important ...
