Abstract

Recently, centrifuge tests have been widely used as tools in geotechnical engineering researches in domestic and foreign. However, the size of these centrifuge facilities is very large and thus the tests require for long time, high expense, and many labors. In this study, therefore, a small capacity(2g ton) of instructional centrifuge, which can conduct tests in a short period of time effectively, was introduced. The results of centrifuge tests conducted on the retaining wall both passive and active cases was used. Medium size of sand was used with sieve off fines in sand using #40 sieve. Based on the test results, this centrifuge facility introduced in here can be enough used for geotechnical engineering education for graduate and undergraduate students.
