Editing Centrifuge (section)

===Geotechnical centrifuge modeling===
[[Geotechnical centrifuge modeling]] is used for physical testing of models involving soils. Centrifuge acceleration is applied to scale models to scale the gravitational acceleration and enable prototype scale stresses to be obtained in scale models. Problems such as building and bridge foundations, earth dams, tunnels, and slope stability, including effects such as blast loading and earthquake shaking.<ref name=KOWACO>{{cite book |title=Physical Modelling in Geotechnics: proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics |author1=C.
