Aplicaciones de la centrífuga geotécnica en la enseñanza de la mecánica de suelos aplicada

This paper presents the characteristics of the new geotechnical centrifuge of the Escuela Colombiana de Ingeniería Julio Garavito, including the installed capacities, future applications, and possibilities that offer the new centrifuge as an important tool for teaching and learning in geotechnics. This centrifuge has a radio of 610mm and a maximum acceleration of 200 gravities. A very complete acquisition system with a capacity of 12 sensors to measure different properties is installed. Also, the centrifuge has five oedometric consolidometers as a complementary tool to prepared fine soils in the construction boxes. The possibilities in teaching soil mechanics and applied soil mechanics using the new centrifuge are multiple and are based on the visualization of failure surfaces and deformations produced by different geotechnical structures.
