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. Other reports developed in this study are FHWA/RD-84/002, Vol. I, Executive Summary, and FHWA/RD-84/003, Vol. II, Centrifuge Tests in Sand. 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. All experimental work was conducted using the geotechnical centrifuge of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.
