Correct assessment of soil parameters in centrifuge tests requires these to be measured during flight, and small vane and penetrometer devices have been developed for this purpose. The vane is fixed in position, but the penetrometer can tranverse the length of the model, allowing tests to be made at different locations. A program of tests has been conducted in the centrifuge at 100 g investigating the use of these test methods in consolidated beds of clay.
