A deformation measurement system based on particle image velocimetry (PIV) and close-range photogrammetry has been developed for use in geotechnical testing. In this paper, the theory underlying this system is described, and the performance is validated. Digital photography is used to capture images of planar soil deformation. Using PIV, the movement of a fine mesh of soil patches is measured to a high precision. Since PIV operates on the image texture, intrusive target markers need not be installed in the observed soil. The resulting displacement vectors are converted from image space to object space using a photogrammetric transformation. A series of validation experiments are reported. These demonstrate that the precision, accuracy and resolution of the system are an order of magnitude higher than previous image-based deformation methods, and are comparable to local instrumentation used in element testing. This performance is achieved concurrent with an order of magnitude increase in the number of meas...read more

Interaction of caisson foundations with a seismically rupturing normal fault: centrifuge testing versus numerical simulation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the mechanisms of normal fault rupture interaction with rigid caisson foundations, with an integrated approach using both experiments and analysis, and a series of centrifuge model tests were first conducted to study the response of a square (in plan) caisson foundation of dimensions 5 m × 5m × 10 m, founded on a 15 m thick layer of dry dense sand.
