... wall embedded into the soft rock. The model wall was made of steel tubular piles with a 2 m diameter and 25 mm thickness in a prototype scale under 50 g . Wall retained height (H) and embedment depth (d_r) into model soft rock (q_u = 1.4 MPa) were 12 and 3 m, respectively...

...Vijayakanthan Kunasegaram, BSc (Hons), MEng; Jiro Takemura, BSc, MEng, PhD In this study, a centrifuge modelling system has been developed, in which the loading process from design conditions to the ultimate failure conditions can be simulated on an embedded wall in soft rock at a constant...
