Geotechnical centrifuge modelling of glacier crevassing - centrifuge test data and recommendations for future work and model construction (NERC grant NE/J014419/1)

There is a report highlighting the approach for model construction and recommendations for any future work. There is an excel file pf processed data including time, centrifuge speed, water pressure, and temperature data. There is a zip folder containing photographs of the models, the instrumentaiton and granular ice used for model construction There is a zip folder containing the raw data.

Statement: An ice model was constructed using granualr ice from a comercial ice maker. There model was tested in the University of Dundee geotechnical centrifuge at 100 time gravity. Data were collected during the test via instrumentation in the model and on the centrifuge. The report and recommendations doument this in more detail.
