Figure 13.
Eight line graphs compare prototype force against displacement ratio for buried and jacked tests.The panel a has 4 graphs with V prototype in meganewtons from 0 to 20 against displacement ratio from 0 to 0.20 per cent. Pre-installed buried at 50 g rises from 0 to about 12.5 meganewtons. 1 g jacked at 50 g rises faster and reaches about 17.5 meganewtons. Pre-installed buried at 100 g rises from 0 to about 12.5 meganewtons, with centrifuge test values reaching about 12.7 before a drop near 0.15 per cent. 1 g jacked at 100 g rises from 0 to about 17 meganewtons, with centrifuge test values reaching about 16.8 before a drop near 0.15 per cent. Panel b has 4 graphs with V prototype in meganewtons from 0 to 5 against displacement ratio from 0 to 0.3 per cent. Pre-installed buried at 50 g rises from 0 to about 2.6 meganewtons, close to the dashed w y divided by 50 line. 1 g jacked at 50 g rises from 0 to about 4.3 meganewtons, close to the dashed w y divided by 50 line. Pre-installed buried at 100 g rises from 0 to about 2.6 meganewtons, with the centrifuge test fluctuating near 2.5 to 2.7 after 0.18 per cent. 1 g jacked at 100 g rises from 0 to about 4.2 meganewtons, with the centrifuge test fluctuating near 4.0 to 4.3 after 0.2 per cent. Curve fitting and centrifuge test lines follow similar rising trends across all graphs.
