[en] Geotechnical centrifuge technology is a strong and successful method for physical modeling of slopes. It provides the
benefit of studying the slopes' failure mechanisms. In this research, slope models of cemented and non-cemented soils were tested in
a geotechnical centrifuge. The tests were conducted according to self-weight of the slopes by increasing the acceleration of the
geotechnical centrifuge. The images of the slope models were captured in 10 seconds intervals until the failure of the slopes. Particle
Image Velocimetry (PIV) method was used to analysis the images of the slope models. Results of the tests indicated that cement has
an important effect on slope stabilization. Soil particle displacement was much lower in cemented models. In addition, using PIV
method along with geotechnical centrifuge tests was found useful to study displacement and deformation behavior of slopes.
