Abstract:This volume is a detailed report of a research program conducted to evaluate the feasibility of centrifuge tests on model piles and pile groups in clay using the geotechnical centrifuge. The report describes the preparation of the clay samples, details of the model piles, methods of pile placement, centrifuge details and operation, and test procedures. Results are presented and analyzed. Conclusions are presented on the verification of the similitude relations, sensitivity of capacity to shear strength, load transfer relations, and pile group efficiencies.
