Abstract
The use of geotechnical centrifuges for modeling of geosynthetic systems can be advantageous. Various scenarios, such as failures, can be modeled. Large cost savings can be realized, both for research and specific projects. Virtually all centrifuge centers encourage outside users to use their facilities. In general, centrifuge modeling has been underutilized for geosynthetic studies, and potential users should investigate the possibilities and feasibility of centrifuge modeling. An example of a centrifuge modeling project dealing with a rapid and innovative slope stability scheme using high strength geocomposites is discussed.
