Centrifuge eccentric loading of square foundation over rigid inclusions




Centrifuge eccentric loading of square foundation over rigid inclusions


The load eccentricity effect of a square foundation resting on 4 Rigid Inclusions is investigated with small-scale centrifuge models. 3 tests were performed on instrumented models with the robot of Uni Eiffel Centrifuge laboratory. The details of the experiment, as well as the kinematics of the foundation and the load transfer towards, the Rigid Inclusions via a granular Load Transfer Platform, are presented.
