Physical modeling is a powerful tool among experimental methods that has been widely
used to simulate the seismic behavior of various earthquake-related geotechnical problems …

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 …

Although the seismic behaviour of shallow circular tunnels in soft ground is generally safer
than aboveground structures, some tunnels were recently damaged during earthquakes. In …

In recent years, much of the research in geotechnical earthquake engineering has focused
on liquefaction of loose, saturated sands and silts. However, the dynamic behaviour of soft …

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the behaviour of embedded retaining
walls under seismic actions. Nine centrifuge tests were carried out on reduced-scale models …

This research provides an insight into the previously unexplored aspects of kinematic pile
bending, especially for large-intensity earthquakes where the soil behaviour is highly non …

Dynamic centrifuge modelling has been carried out at Cambridge since the late 1970s. Over
this period, three different mechanical earthquake actuators were developed. In this paper …

Allowing the transitory attainment of bearing capacity of caisson foundations supporting
bridge piers during strong seismic events can lead to substantial optimisation in their design …

Seismic behavior of inclined piles has been considered detrimental for years. However,
recent researches show that battered piles can have a beneficial effect. In this framework, a …

Centrifuge modelling is an effective tool to assess the response of reduced-scale structures
subjected to earthquakes under increased gravity. Space limitations, however, force the …
