Researchers usually utilize a few previously employed ground motions or simple sinusoidal
input for earthquake simulations in centrifuge tests. Given the inherent randomness of …

This thesis describes an assemblage of facilities, equipment and experimental techniques
which have been developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to aid in small-scale …

The present study is mainly concerned with the design of an earthquake simulator package
for the generation of a sinusoidal motion during a centrifuge test. It was then used to excite …

The Center for Geotechnical Modeling at UC Davis operates a 9.1-m radius geotechnical
centrifuge equipped with a 2 mx 1 m servo-hydraulic shaking table. This equipment has …

This paper presents an assessment of the state-of-the-art in the use of centrifuge model
testing for the study of problems in geotechnical earthquake engineering. It begins with a …

For the LEAP-GWU-2015 exercise, a relatively simple centrifuge test was conducted in
parallel at 6 centrifuge facilities including the University of California Davis (UCD). The …

In the past eight years a variety of model tests has been performed on the geotechnical
centrifuge at Caltech. They include soil mechanics experiments, such as static and dynamic …

The field of dynamic centrifuge modelling has developed rapidly over the past decade, with
international interest in both earthquake and blast modelling. The paper discusses the …

This article presents a framework for conducting seismic system identification using
geotechnical centrifuge-based data for soil-structure interaction (SSI) experimentation. The …

A great deal of research has been performed in the last ten years in the area of dynamic
geotechnical centrifuge testing. The progress made is reviewed, with particular reference to …
