A Study on Shake Table Test and Centrifuge Test with a Scaled Model in Geotechnics
To study the dynamic responses of a civil engineering structure, shake table tests and centrifuge tests are more commonly used. Due to various limitations, sometimes it is not possible to carry out the required tests on original structures, but it becomes inevitable to perform experiments by changing the scale (scaled up or reduced scale) in a model from the prototype. The geometrical shape and materials of the scaled model may be different from the prototype. In the present study, a detailed presentation is made about the design philosophy, limitations, advantages of shake table tests, as well as centrifuge tests. It is also detailed that the principles and approaches used in the development of the model in the scaled format of a prototype. Stepwise, it is illustrated the development of a scaled model, extrapolating the results in a prototype. The present paper will be useful to researchers performing dynamic experiments using shake table tests or centrifuge tests with a scaled model.
