Earth Pressure Measurement in Centrifugal Loading Model Experiment

Requesting Main Industry : Civil Engineering Research

Ultra-compact waterproof pressure gauge is required in the liquefaction experiment of centrifugal loading test equipment.

Problems we had

When measuring earth pressure in a centrifugal loading model experiment, the larger the sensor is, the more it affects the measurement, because there is no foreign matter like a sensor in the actual soil. The weight of the sensor must be light because the same centrifugal force as the actual gravity is applied to the model.

Solving Problems

Centrifugal loading test equipment

The ultra-compact, lightweight waterproof PRP series was installed in the model. Even when a sensor is installed, the effect when centrifugal force is generated can be held down to a minimum and measured with high accuracy.
