Geotechnical centrifuge modeling
text:
Geotechnical centrifuge modeling is a technique for testing physical scale models of geotechnical engineering systems such as natural and man-made slopes and earth retaining structures and building or bridge foundations. The scale model is typically constructed in the laboratory and then loaded onto the end of the centrifuge, which is typically between 0.2 and 10 metres in radius. The purpose of spinning the models on the centrifuge is to increase the g-forces on the model so that stresses in th
