Towards very large scale laboratory simulation of structure-foundation-soil interaction (SFSI) problems

Colin A. Taylor, Adam J. Crewe, George Mylonakis
Abstract:
We are at the maturity convergence point of a set of actuation, control, instrumentation and data analysis technologies that make it feasible to construct laboratory experimental rigs that will allow us to address key controlling uncertainties in SFSI assessment and design, which can only be addressed by testing at, or near to, prototype scale. This paper will explore the process of innovation that must be established in order to integrate these enabling technologies and thereby create novel test facilities that offer new, high value, capabilities.
