- Abstract
- Physical model tests in geotechnics are quite often performed in a centrifuge, because then the stresses are the same in model and prototype, leading to comparable stress-strain behaviour. However, in theory for a pure friction material as sand, it should be possible to get the same results in a reduced stress 1-g model as in an N-g-model. This was checked in a series of anchor pulling tests. The anchor was pulled through a sand bed and a gravel berm. Tests were run with the same set-up at 80-g and at 1-g. The pulling force was measured as a function of time. Results show that there is a clear distinction between the 1-g and 80-g tests. The pulling force was relatively higher in the 1-g tests. This means that also for a pure friction material, stresses has to be the same in model and prototype.
