The gravitational field affects the evolution of multiphase media, such as rocks, soil, and
alloy melts. Hypergravity increases the body force of matter, enhancing the driving force of …

Geotechnical infrastructures, like slopes and embankments, retaining walls, foundations,
engineered landfills, overburden dumps, and pavements, get continuously exposed to …

Solve Complex Ground and Foundation Problems Presenting more than 25 years of
teaching and working experience in a wide variety of centrifuge testing, the author of …

A complete characterization detailing the intricate and complex response of geomaterials
remains a challenging task that can only be realized on a partial basis via a careful drilling …

In assessing the impact of climate change on infrastructure, it is essential to consider the
interactions between the atmosphere, vegetation and the near-surface soil. This paper …

An investigation of the behaviour and energy budget of sturzstroms has been carried out
using physical, analytical and numerical modelling techniques. Sturzstroms are rock slides …

In this paper, an experimental, numerical and analytical study is conducted on a 2× 1 bored
pile group on saturated sand under combined loading. Initially, a single-degree-of-freedom …

Stone columns are primarily used for the purpose of ground improvement in fine grained
soils in order to reduce settlements and the risk of bearing failure. They are also designed to …

Physical modelling of debris flows has been carried out in the geotechnical drum centrifuge
at ETH Zürich. A new apparatus to model debris flows in the centrifuge is described. The …

A series of prototype dynamic centrifuge experiments is carried out to investigate the
influence of soil properties and structural parameters on the Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) …
