Centrifuge Modelling for Civil Engineers

This book on centrifuge modeling begins with the basics then gradually moves on to methods and applications such as shallow foundations, retaining walls, and pile foundations. It moves on to increasingly complex ones such as tunneling beneath existing pile foundations or assessing the stability of buildings and their foundations following earthquake-induced soil liquefaction. It addresses the use of modern imaging techniques, as well as data acquisition and modelling techniques. It...
More Description

This book on centrifuge modeling begins with the basics then gradually moves on to methods and applications such as shallow foundations, retaining walls, and pile foundations. It moves on to increasingly complex ones such as tunneling beneath existing pile foundations or assessing the stability of buildings and their foundations following earthquake-induced soil liquefaction. It addresses the use of modern imaging techniques, as well as data acquisition and modelling techniques. It also explains the necessary signal processing tools that are used to decipher centrifuge test data.
