dc.description.abstract |
The Department of Civil
Engineering at the University
of Pretoria has recently been
awarded a grant from the National
Research Foundation (NRF) to
acquire a geotechnical centrifuge.
Geotechnical centrifuges are
used to accelerate soil models to
create a stress field in the model
analogous to that occurring in
the full-scale situation being
modelled. At present there are
approximately 110 geotechnical
centrifuges around the world
and only one in Africa, namely at
Mansoura University in Egypt. |
