ASCE Capital Branch Members and Friends,
Take a Tour of the CGM at UC Davis on April 28th!
The Center for Geotechnical Modeling (CGM) at UC Davis provides users access to world-class geotechnical modeling facilities, including 9-m and 1-m radius centrifuges with shaking tables. Their 9-m radius centrifuge has the largest radius of any centrifuge with a shake table worldwide! The large size and advanced technologies, provide the unique ability to construct soil models and soil-structure models and enable major geotechnical advances in the ability to predict and improve performance of soil and soil-structure systems affected by earthquake, wave, wind, and storm surcharge loads. The CGM operates as a national shared-use, open-access Equipment Facility in the National Science Foundation (NFS) sponsored Natural Hazard and Equipment Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) network.
