CU's instructional centrifuge is a state of the art tool for teaching geotechnical principles to undergraduate engineering students. Centrifuges have been used as tools in geotechnical research for ...

The 15 g-ton centrifuge, operational since 1981, is a Genisco 1230-5 accelerator modified for geotechnical applications. The symmetrical dual-swing basket design will accelerate a 300 lb (136 kg) ...

While 1 g testing has its uses, it can be insufficient due to the nonlinear stress-strain behaviour of soil. To address this, we employ our geotechnical centrifuge, a 50 g-tonne, 4 m diameter beam ...

A program of dynamic centrifuge model tests consisting of nine geotechnical models constructed from or founded on liquefiable soil deposits have been performed within the framework of the VELACS ...

Geotechnical engineering, geotechnical centrifuge modeling, frozen soil behavior, computer modeling of particulate materials, soil-structure interaction and integral abutment bridge design. Predictive ...

KUCHING: A new centrifuge facility to be built at Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus will enable high-end research in geotechnical engineering to be carried out. The International ...

This will be complemented by a consideration of soil having a particulate / continuum duality, and by an examination of the role of physical modelling (such as using a geotechnical centrifuge), ...
