Recent Development of Dynamic Model Testing in Geotechnical Engineering
The main item of equipment for experimental study of geotechnical models in earthquakes is the shaking table. Recently it has become possible to test geotechnical models in shaking tables during centrifuge flight. The paper gives a brief introduction to the principles of modelling and some experimental details of the facilities. Typical models are described and the behavior of soil in different tests is discussed. It is concluded that the recent centrifuge developments will lead to studies on normal shaking tables being organized in conjunction with centrifugal model tests.
