- This paper develops an innovative centrifuge testing methodology for the cone penetration test (CPT) in layered soils using a world-first 180 degree axisymmetric model to enable displacements around a cylindrical probe to be monitored with image-based methods. This work has significantly advanced our understanding of the layered soil effects on CPT results, and has impacted on the subsequent research of other leading groups including the University of Western Australia (DOI:10.1061/(ASCE)GM.1943-5622.0000929) and Purdue University (DOI:10.1061/(ASCE)GT.1943-5606.0001809). The paper won the British Geotechnical Association Medal in 2015.
