This invention discloses a
centrifuge testing and
observation system suitable for suction anchors. The
system includes a test foundation and a suction anchor model housed inside a model box, a
pulley support
assembly on the upper part of the model box, a camera support, a
laser displacement measurement
assembly, a horizontal loading mechanism, and a support frame. The horizontal loading mechanism connects to the
anchor point of the suction anchor model via rigging and the
pulley guide frame, thereby achieving model loading. This experimental device has wide applicability, is not limited to any type of test foundation, and the height and position of various support components can be adjusted at any time according to the soil height of the model box and the required loading angle. The
system is equipped with a T-bar or CPTu, a
laser displacement sensor, a pore pressure gauge, and an
accelerometer, enabling precise and diverse measurements of
soil strength, soil settlement, pore pressure within the test foundation soil, and model movement. It can efficiently and conveniently observe the dynamic response of the suction anchor and the response of the test foundation soil.
