THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MEDIUM-SIZE CENTRIFUGAL TESTING FACILITY
The centrifugal testing facility at Liverpool University is described together with the ancillary equipment which has been found to be most suitable for loading model structures and for monitoring and recording their behaviour. To illustrate the scope of the facility a number of model studies are described. These include the lateral loading of a steel pile wall, lateral loading of a single rigid pile and the lateral resistance of vertical anchor plates. Strain gauging techniques and the interpretation of strain measurements are discussed and some trends in behaviour, determined by parametric studies, are included. The number of the covering abstract of the symposium is IRRD 286058. (TRRL)
