25 Aug 2006: This thesis describes dynamic centrifuge tests undertaken to try and increase understanding of three such remediation methods: containment walls, cemented zones and inclined, non-loadbearing micro-piles. ... Centrifuge tests with a simple SDOF frame

29 Nov 2007: Pseudo-static BNWF models have been developed which can determine the complete post-buckling response of the system and have been fully validated against centrifuge test data. ... The BNWF analyses and empirical settlement equations were combined to map

19 Feb 2008: K. and Pellegrino, S. (1991). The Pantographic Deployable Mast: design, structural performance and deployment tests.

17 Dec 2008: 2-chlorobenzoic acid). The short and long-term effectiveness of the S/S treatment was examined through results of batch leaching test, chemical, mechanical and microstructural properties. ... The experimental techniques employed to assess the long-term

13 May 2011: Extensive data was generated in a series of laboratory tests in order to develop process envelopes for S/S treatment of contaminated soils using a real site soil contaminated with a ... monolithic leaching, contaminant extraction and dehydrogenase

12 Oct 2004: shear stress. In many centrifuge tests, neither apply. Therefore shear stress is evaluated. ... curves/element test data, and is apparently better at smaller (< 0.05%) strains.

14 Dec 2009: Also, important differences were noted between the centrifuge test results and the Mononobe-Okabe analysis. ... Further tests are needed to ascertain the real seismic behaviour of embedded retaining walls.

2 Nov 2011: Permeability tests are performed on fissured London Clay, exploring the effect of isotropic stress cycles on the permeability of fissures.

19 Dec 2008: tests were successfully simulated.

11 Mar 2008: Small-strain stiffness and its dependency on mean stress level were successfully measured and compared well against data obtained from triaxial tests.

29 Nov 2007: In all simulations and tank tests, PITT-based PCE volume estimates showed wide ranges of accuracy, ranging from 70% under prediction to 20% overprediction.

14 Mar 2002: A discrete element package PFC3D is then used to model individual particles in simple crushing tests.

14 Dec 2006: Tests performed using different chemical compositions but under otherwise identical conditions demonstrated that the lubricant composition significantly affects the rate of build-up as well as the final magnitude of effective

10 Jan 2011: Significant excess pore pressures were generated by the jet grouting. Further investigation into greenfield ground movements in sands has also been carried out, through comparison of three separate centrifuge tests which

16 Apr 2002: effects. A series of centrifuge tests involving loose and dense, dry and saturated models of homogeneous horizontal sand layers has been carried out to investigate the effects of the end-walls

13 Apr 2011: The algorithm was checked against the centrifuge model test results and the numerical analyses, and design charts were produced for free headed piles only_ Finally a design procedure was recommended for

24 May 2006: Centrifuge tests are being carried out in conjunction with Santa Clara University, USA, in order to investigate the mechanisms of failure of landfill liner systems.

8 Apr 2003: A series of 12 centrifuge tests was designed and carried out at the Schofield Centrifuge Centre using the 10m beam centrifuge.

27 Jun 2008: At present, all earthquake tests carried out at Cambridge use one of two "equivalent shear beam" (ESB) model containers of the latter type.

22 Jun 2010: A model was constructed and tested in a 4 L column (cylindrical) reactor, using the MB test to characterise the reactor performance and operating conditions.
