Zusammenfassung:A 0.8m diameter mini-drum centrifuge facility was designed and constructed mainly for the purpose of geotechnical engineering education. It was revealed that the mini-drum centrifuge is less costly, easy to use and is a versatile facility comparable to triaxial apparatus. This report describes the basic design concepts and two applications; pull out test of bell-shaped foundation, long-term modeling of leaching of clay layer, demonstrating the validity and high repeatability, the cost effectiveness of the use of minidrum centrifuge, and a potential use for long-term geotechnical environmental predictions.
