This paper describes the specifications developed by and distributed to all of the centrifuge test facilities involved in LEAP-UCD-2017. The specified experiment consisted of a submerged medium dense clean sand with a 5-degree slope subjected to 1 Hz ramped sine wave base motion in a rigid container. This document describes the detailed geometry, sensor locations, methods of preparation, quality control, shaking motions, surface markers, and surface survey techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
