Abstract:This volume describes in summary form the research program conducted to evaluate the feasibility of conducting tests of model piles and pile groups using the geotechnical centrifuge. The goals of the program are described, the testing programs in both sand and clay are briefly discussed, important results are presented and conclusions and recommendations for future research are given. Other reports developed in this study are FIIWA/RD-84/003, Vol. II, Centrifugal Tests in Sand, and FHWA/RD-84/004, Vol, III, Centrifugal Tests in Clay. Dr. R. H. Atkinson, Atkinson-Noland & Associates served as Project Director. Prof. H-Y. Ko and G. G. Goble served as Principal Investigators. Mr. F. Harrison conducted the test program in clay while Mr. M. Manzoori conducted the test program in sand. All experimental work was conducted using the geotechnical centrifuge of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.
