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 …

Dynamic centrifuge testing is widely used to model geotechnical earthquake engineering
problems. This is especially helpful in generating data to validate numerical models or to …

A highly instrumented centrifuge experiment was conducted at the University of California at
Davis (UCD) to investigate the dynamic response of a saturated dense sand stratum. In this …

Twenty-four centrifuge model tests have been conducted at nine different geotechnical
centrifuge facilities around the world as part of the international LEAP effort (liquefaction …

Four centrifuge models, tested on the large centrifuge at UC Davis, are described in this
paper. These four experiments involved dense profiles of Nevada Sand (D r= 90 to 100%) …

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 …

Prototype and physical scale numerical models were created using OpenSees to simulate
centrifuge experiments representing a sloping ground condition in accordance with LEAP …

Two dynamic centrifuge model tests were performed to simulate dry or saturated sand
deposits subjected to 1Hz base shaking. This experimental study investigated the boundary …

This paper compares experimental results from every facility for LEAP-UCD-2017. The
specified experiment consisted of a submerged medium-dense clean sand with a 5-degree …

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