Centrifuge Simulations of Large-Scale Shaking Table Tests: Case Studies

Response of a RC pile group in liquefiable soil: A shake-table investigation

“…Many attempts have been made in recent decades to elucidate the failure mechanisms and behavior of pile foundations subjected to earthquakes using dynamic centrifuge experiments [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], shaketable experiments [12,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] and full-scale field tests that utilize blast-induced liquefaction [41][42][43]. The shake-table experiment is one of the tools used to identify and quantify the failure mechanisms in pile foundations during earthquakes.…”

Overview of Anti-Seismic Researches of Underground Structures

“…It is the most direct method to study the structure seismic response and failure mechanism in laboratory, so it is widely used [9]. The shaking table test can be classified into ordinary shaking table model test and dynamic centrifuge model test [10], which can simulate the dynamic behavior and seismic performance of a system composed of various structures and soils.…”

Micro- and macro-observations of liquefaction of saturated sand around buried structures in centrifuge shaking table tests

“…The project results helped to define a general mechanism of liquefaction and showed that similar results could be obtained when testing standard models at different centrifuge facilities. Kagawa et al [13] further validated the similitude relations and modeling techniques that are commonly used in dynamic centrifuge tests, by comparing centrifuge tests with large-scale shaking table tests on some soil-pilestructure systems involving soil liquefaction.…”
