Tunnel stability and arching effects during tunneling in soft clayey soil

A series of centrifuge model tests and numerical simulations of these tests were carried out to investigate the surface settlement troughs, excess pore water pressure generation, tunnel stability and arching effects that develop during tunneling in soft clayey soil. The two methods were found to provide consistent results of the surface settlement troughs, excess pore water generation, and the overload factors at collapse for both single and parallel tunneling. The arching ratio describes the evolution of the arching effects on the soil mass surrounding tunnels and can be derived from the numerical analysis. The boundaries of the arching zones for both single tunneling and parallel tunneling were determined. In addition, the boundaries of the positive and negative arching zones were also proposed.     

Use of Explosives on The Moon

The utilization of explosives for excavation on the lunar surface is under serious consideration as a part of the design for construction of temporary and permanent bases. An excavation research program has shown that small‐scale explosives blasting in a lunar‐soil simulant will greatly reduce the digging forces required for scoop and dragline excavators. Some crater‐blasting parameters were determined for the lunar soil simulant at one Earth gravity and at 10 Earth gravities using a centrifuge. The size of the craters produced at 10 Earth gs matched those formed at one earth g by scaling according to the weight of the explosive. These data can be applied to explosive‐excavation problems such as habitat construction, burial of nuclear power sources, and the rapid construction of shelters remote from the main base to shield against solar‐flare activity.

Dewatering of Sewage Sludge

Dewatering of sewage sludges is usually carried out using belt filter presses or centrifuges. The ability to remove water from sludges by mechanical dewatering is a property of both the sludge and the equipment used for dewatering. Newer high-solids centrifuges can remove more water than a belt press but require a higher chemical conditioning dose. The Gt value, the product of the mean velocity gradient and the shear time, has been found to be a useful parameter for characterizing the shear in mechanical dewatering equipment. Dewatering can be considered a two-step process, filtration followed by expression. The expression step is the most important of these and the benefits of various sludge processing techniques and conditioning chemical types remains a fruitful area of research.

Determination of the adhesion force between particles and a flat surface, using the centrifuge technique

By using a centrifuge technique, the influence of powdery material particle size on the adhesion force particle-surface was determined. In order to achieve this, the adhesion of phosphatic rock (ρ_p = 3.090 kg m^− 3) and of manioc starch particles (ρ_p = 1.480 kg m^− 3) on a steel surface were studied. A microcentrifuge that reached a maximum speed rotation of 14000 rpm and which contained specially designed centrifuge tubes was used. There tubes contained the flat surface where the test particles were deposited. The powder particles were dispersed on these disks and the particles detachment were performed using diverse centrifugal speeds. The graphics of particle percentages still adhering on the surface of the disks as a function of the applied detachment force showed that the profile of adhesion force followed a log-normal distribution. The adhesion force increased with particle size. The manioc starch particles presented adhesion forces greater than those for the phosphatic rock particles for all particle sizes studied. The results obtained were compared with the theory proposed by Derjaguin, Muller and Toporov whose theoretical adhesion presented values close to the experimental data for the phosphatic rock particles adhesion on the stainless steel surface. On the contrary, the theoretical values were lower than the experimental ones for the manioc starch particles maybe due to the small roughness of these particles, their physical properties (softer and deformable material) and/or specific chemical interactions since the organic composition of the manioc starch particles that can dominate the adhesion force. Finally, the separation distance among the surfaces in contact (Z₀) was estimated in approximately 1.0 × 10^− 9 m for the phosphatic rock and 5.0 × 10^− 10 m for the manioc starch. These results were weakly dependent on the particle size range.

Comparison of the dynamic responses of monopiles and gravity base foundations for offshore wind turbines in sand using centrifuge modelling

Monopiles and gravity base foundations (GBF) are two of the most commonly used foundations for offshore wind turbines. As resonance can cause damage and even failure of wind turbines, understanding the difference between the dynamic responses of monopiles and GBFs under free vibration is important. However there is little experimental data regarding their natural frequency, especially from model tests carried out at correct stress levels. This paper presents the results of novel monopile and GBF tests using a centrifuge to directly determine the natural frequency (f_n) of the foundation-soil system. The natural frequencies of wind turbine monopiles and GBFs in centrifuge models were measured during harmonic loading using a piezo-actuator, with the results confirming that soil-structure interaction must be considered to obtain the system’s natural frequency as this frequency reduces substantially from fixed-base values. These results will contribute in preventing resonance induced damage in wind-turbines.     

Geosynthetic-reinforced soils above voids: Observation and prediction of soil arching

The assumption with the biggest impact on the design of geosynthetic-reinforced soils above voids is the presence and degree of soil arching, which affects the predicted applied stress on the geosynthetic. A series of centrifuge tests were conducted to investigate the soil arching in geosynthetic-reinforced soils with measurements of the soil stresses and observation of soil and geosynthetic deformation used to infer the arching behaviour. Detailed analysis of the results showed that arching significantly reduces the stress at the base of the soil when a void forms; this mechanism is due to stress redistributions and not the formation of a physical arch as suggested in some models. A new method to reliably predict this reduction is proposed by calculating the coefficient of lateral stress on vertical failure planes based on the observations of a continuous convex arc of major principal strains above the void, and the assumption that this is indicative of the stress behaviour.
