Abstract

This paper describes the specifications developed by and distributed to all of the centrifuge test facilities involved in LEAP-UCD-2017. The specified experiment consisted of a submerged medium dense clean sand with a 5-degree slope subjected to 1 Hz ramped sine wave base motion in a rigid container. This document describes the detailed geometry, sensor locations, methods of preparation, quality control, shaking motions, surface markers, and surface survey techniques.
