Journal Article
Gutiérrez-Ch, J. G., Song, G., Heron, C. M., Marshall, A., & Jimenez, R. (2021). Centrifuge Tests on Rock-Socketed Piles: Effect of Socket Roughness on Shaft Resistance. Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 147(11), Article 04021125. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29GT.1943-5606.0002665

Preliminary estimations of shaft resistance of rock-socketed piles are usually conducted using empirical formulations that relate to the uniaxial compressive strength (σc) of the weaker material involved (intact rock or pile). However, there are othe... Read More about Centrifuge Tests on Rock-Socketed Piles: Effect of Socket Roughness on Shaft Resistance.

Centrifuge application of fibre Bragg gratings: pile axial loads and wall bending moments (2021)
Journal Article
Heron, C. M., Song, G., Xu, J., Marshall, A. M., Korposh, S., & Correia, R. (2022). Centrifuge application of fibre Bragg gratings: pile axial loads and wall bending moments. International Journal of Physical Modelling in Geotechnics, 22(4), 192-207. https://doi.org/10.1680/jphmg.20.00078

One challenge for geotechnical centrifuge testing of soil-structure interaction problems is the reliable measurement of induced structural strains/forces. This paper presents a novel application of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors for strain measure...
