The development of centrifuge technology presents geotechnical engineers with a very powerful technique for investigating geotechnical problems. The centrifuge has made, and continues to make, significant contributions to understanding the mechanisms of deformation and collapse of geotechnical structures, and to the development and validation of new analytical and numerical methods. With the range of machinery and ancillary equipment available and the increasing expertise of the engineering community, the centrifuge test has become a very sophisticated tool for solving many geotechnical engineering problems.
In this book a team of practitioners provides a comprehensive overview of centrifuge testing. Starting from first principles and practical considerations, the book then discusses applications of the test in modelling such geotechnical structures and processes as foundations and retaining walls, environmental geomechanics and cold regions engineering.
Professional and academic geotechnical, civil and structural engineers will find this a compact and thorough discussion of centrifuge testing.
