In this paper, we study the effect of production risk on irrigation technology choice among small-scale farmers in Chile, applying sample selection and discrete choice models. We find that more educated farmers, with credit access, receiving extension services, a...

The development of a small - scale geotechnical teaching centrifuge

Geotechnical engineering is a core discipline within civil engineering that supports the infrastructure development which underpins modern society. The simulation of realistic geotechnical design at undergraduate level is often restricted to routine calculation-based methods reinforced by simple element laboratory tests which fail to provide a holistic learning experience. Using the latest rese...
