... a conventional tensiometer for static (no flow) and transient flow conditions. Good agreement was found, and the modified sensor provided similar results to those obtained with the tensiometer. The sensor was successfully implemented and tested in a geotechnical centrifuge under different g -levels. This study...

.... In this research, a large number of physical levee erosion tests were performed at 1 g and at high g 's using a geotechnical centrifuge. Centrifuge tests were performed to simulate real (prototype) size levees, and thus to obtain a more realistic model. The erosion was modeled physically in detail. Conventional...

...Nam-Ryong Kim; Dong-Soo Kim In physical model tests using geotechnical centrifuge, it is important to evaluate soil properties during centrifugal acceleration due to the effect of stress conditions. A crosshole type shear wave velocity tomography testing system has been developed...

... sampling parameters, spatial and temporal resolutions of 1 mm and 1 ms have been demonstrated. The viability of the electro-location technique is demonstrated by measuring the liquefaction-induced settlements of heavy objects in the geotechnical centrifuge model test using an electrode switching system...

...J Lee; PJ Fox Seepage consolidation under normal gravity conditions can be used to prepare clay soil substrates for subsequent testing in a geotechnical centrifuge. Currently available information provides no information regarding the general efficiency of this method, which would be expected...

... of the proposed method. The method can be used to prepare clay samples for prototype depth less than about 17 m. A procedure for estimating the final height, water content, and shear strength profiles of the soil model prepared is also presented. KEYWORDS: geotechnical centrifuge, normally consolidated clays...
