- Abstract
- An investigation was made into the behavior of rigid foundations and structures resting on the surface or embedded in a cohesionless soil and subjected to transient active or passive excitations and forced vibrations using the centrifuge modeling technique. The investigation was aimed at studying both low and high amplitude vibrations of foundations under machine type loadings, earthquake orwave induced vibrations, and other sources of dynamic loads.
