Center For Centrifuge Modeling Uc Davis

Center for Geotechnical Modeling. The UC Davis geotechnical centrifuge was conceived of and constructed in a collaborative effort with NASA and UC Davis beginning in 1978. It first operated in 1984 at the NASA Ames Research Center in Sunnyvale, CA. In 1987 the centrifuge was disassembled and moved to UC Davis and installed on the concrete ...

Nov 10, 2020 UC Davis supported the project by constructing the Geotechnical Modeling Facility building in 2003. “It took a lot of effort to secure the early financing for the Center because there was a little bit of skepticism about the usefulness of the centrifuge at that time; for the past twenty or so years, it has grown by leaps and bounds.”

Nov 15, 2004 $5.1 million of NEES funding has paid for upgrades and new equipment at the UC Davis Center for Geotechnical Modeling, based around a 30-foot radius centrifuge, the largest of its type in the U.S. and one of the largest in the world.

Oct 10, 2019 A set of saturated Ottawa sand models was treated with microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) and subjected to repeated shaking events using the 1-m radius centrifuge at the UC Davis Center for Geotechnical Modeling. Centrifuge models were constructed to initial relative densities (D R 0) of approximately 38% and treated to light ...
