...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...

...Tatsunori Matsumoto; Kazuyuki Fukumura; Kenichi Horikoshi; Asuka Oki A series of shaking table tests were carried out on model piled rafts in dry Toyoura sand using a shaking table at 1-g field. Two experimental variables were considered, i.e. frequency of input acceleration and height...

...Tatsunori Matsumoto; Kazuyuki Fukumura; Kitiyodom Pastsakorn; Kenichi Horikoshi; Asuka Oki A series of static horizontal load tests were carried out on model piled rafts at 1-g gravitational field by using dry Toyoura sand. In order to examine the effects of confined stress on soil modulus...

...Kenichi Horikoshi; Tatsunori Matsumoto; Yoshinori Hashizume; Toru Watanabe; Hideki Fukuyama A series of static loading tests were conducted vertically and horizontally on piled raft models and their components (single piles and rafts alone) on sand by using a geotechnical centrifuge. Much focus...

...Kenichi Horikoshi; Tatsunori Matsumoto; Yoshinori Hashizume; Toru Watanabe A series of shaking table tests were conducted on piled raft foundations on sand by using a geotechnical centrifuge. The results were compared with those obtained from the static horizontal loading tests of the same models...
