An effective spinThe research carried out under the generic heading of Geotechnical Research covers the behaviour of structures subjected to earthquakes, the influence of soil movements on structures and the rates of migration of pollutants from landfills. By setting up small scale tests using the centrifuge, for instance, the rate of spread of a plume of pollution from a landfill site which would occur over a period of 27 years can be simulated in just one day.
