Centrifuge Modeling of Energy Foundations
Areas of thermomechanical soil—structure interaction analysis being explored in the centrifuge are the impact of thermally induced radial stresses on the side shear resistance, end boundary condition effects, and the impact of temperature on the stress—strain curves for end bearing and side shear resistance. This chapter reviews the relevant scaling relationships and strategies to account for issues with scaling heat transfer in the centrifuge, the details of scale‐model energy foundation development, and the procedures and typical results of tests used to define parameters for soil‐structure interaction analyses. It focuses on the behavior of semi‐floating (i.e. the toe of the foundation is resting in soil) energy foundation models in unsaturated silt. The chapter evaluates two scale‐model, semi‐floating energy foundations. It presents soil obtained from the Bonny dam near the Colorado—Kansas border was used in the energy foundation modeling tests.
