AFCESA Geotechnical Centrifuge
Abstract
The objective of this project was to compile a user's manual for the Air Force Civil Engineering Support Agency geotechnical centrifuge. In the process it was also necessary to upgrade the centrifuge to a state-of-the-art geotechnical research facility. To assist research efforts, a manual was required to provide background information to aid in understanding the AFCESA centrifuge, its support equipment, basic scaling laws that pertain to its use, and guidelines for conducting research involving explosives, soil preparation, and data collection.
