Centrifuges were first used to study the behaviour of soils under load in the 1930s in Russia and the USA. Their use enabled soil behaviour to be studied in increased gravity fields – perhaps 1000 times normal gravity. Such studies also accelerate the movement of pore water and enable the long‐term (many decades) stability of slopes to be studied in a few hours. The use of centrifuge modelling grew rapidly from the 1960s finding applications in studying dams and embankments, and offshore structures such as oil rigs and pipelines resting on the sea bed.
