... finite-element analysis and centrifuge modelling in sand, the effects of chamfering the pad's upper edge and varying the density of the material used to backfill the excavation were explored. A 30–40° chamfered edge on the pad increased the tensile capacity by up to 40% at low embedment ratios, shifting...

..., but converting them into subgrade filling that meets road engineering requirements solves disposal problems. In this work, the performance of modified filter mudcakes (MFMs) was assessed through the optimisation of curing agents, assessment of engineering characteristics and centrifuge modelling...

... design approaches where efficient design is key to minimising material use and carbon dioxide footprint. Both centrifuge testing and three-dimensional finite-element analysis were used to investigate and verify more efficient uplift design procedures. In addition, a centrifuge modelling technique...

... encounter distinct soil layering and need to perform under a variety of load cases. For this application, the installation and monotonic tensile load response of multiple helix screw piles in uniform and layered sands were investigated by centrifuge modelling. Standard pitch-matched and pile self-weight...
