The type of experimental research in this project is based on the geotechnical centrifuge NEES Equipment Site at UC Davis.

Recent Testing:
Two scale-model structures on dry sand were tested July 13, 2009 to Aug. 14, 2009 at the University of California, Davis research site. [more]

Next testing cycle planned for November, 2009.
