Abstract

Centrifuge modeling contributes to geotechnical earthquake engineering knowledge by providing the means to identify fundamental mechanisms, validate analysis methods, and evaluate unique soil and soil-structure systems. A number of recent developments and factors have increased the effectiveness of centrifuge modeling in advancing geotechnical earthquake engineering knowledge. The following five factors which have contributed to this increased role of centrifuge modeling are discussed in this paper: 1) instrumentation and hardware, 2) model testing techniques, 3) data processing and interpretation techniques, 4) numerical and constitutive modeling, 5) data and facility sharing.
