• Analytical methods are particularly valuable in cases where high accuracy is not required or unachievable due to lack of data or level of risk, and where high performance computing time and costs are prohibitive.
• Focus on the development of models for analyses that capture important complexities while being simple enough to be solved analytically and implemented easily.

• Observations of geotechnical systems inform the development of analytical solutions for assessing stability, calculating movements and for predicting the impact of geotechnical processes.
• Correctly scaled and appropriately instrumented physical models that capture the important complexities of geotechnical systems can provide an alternative to field measurements.
• Such models allow simulation of geotechnical systems that might be too expensive, time consuming or almost impossible to monitor in the field.
Centrifuge modelling - capturing complexity
![Page 6: Davies - Capturing Complexities To Enable Analytical Solutions · PROFESSOR MICHAEL C R DAVIES University of Sussex and City, University of London Geotechnical Centrifuge Modelling:](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060306/5f0987cc7e708231d4274465/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Requirement for similitude between material properties in prototype and model.
• Stress/strain behaviour of soil is highly non-linear, stress level dependent and stress history dependent.
• Close control over material properties and well defined boundary conditions in a model enable repeatability -permitting parametric studies to be conducted.
• Instrumentation and monitoring systems provide quantitative data that may be used both to inform the development and to validate analytical solutions.

• Geotechnical centrifuge modelling permits repeatability associated with laboratory testing combined with the ability to conduct parametric studies.
• Correctly scaled centrifuge models capture the complexities of prototype systems.
• Centrifuge models allow the observation of mechanisms and the capture of qualitative data that can be used both to understand mechanisms and inform the development of analytical solutions.
• Centrifuge models provide quantitative data for developing and validating analytical solutions.
