Centrifuge Shake Table Tests on Rocking Footings on Sand

This paper focuses on characterizing the cyclic behavior of a heavily loaded rocking footing supporting a bridge pier using centrifuge-model scale shake table tests. The intention of the test presented in this paper is to provide a baseline response for a footing that is expected to fail in the mode of rocking while supported on a uniform loose sand deposit. After presenting the details of the experimental setup and instrumentation plan, the results from a cyclic loading experiment are presented. Similar to the majority of tests in the FoRDy database, the footings investigated in this study were heavily loaded and experienced overturning failure.
