...Aljoscha Ganal, Dr-Ing; Oliver Reul, Prof Dr-Ing; S. W. Jacobsz, Prof Dr-Ing This paper presents the results from centrifuge tests on raft foundations and piled rafts in overconsolidated kaolin clay carried out in a beam centrifuge at the University of Pretoria. The foundations were subjected...

... centrifuge tests are included. In two of the models, the sand was respectively overconsolidated (overconsolidation ratio, OCR = 4) and pre-shaken, in order to study the effects of these factors on liquefaction and lateral spreading; neither the pre-shaking nor the overconsolidation changed much the density...
