It is not unusual to observe inclination of buildings and towers as a result of unwanted differential foundation settlements. Over the years, a number of different engineering solutions including the method of soil extraction have been attempted to reduce unexpected inclination of buildings and towers. By using a state-of-the-art robotic manipulator, a series of novel centrifuge model tests conducted to investigate key factors which govern the restoration of building tilts are described and reported. In the centrifuge simulation tests, the robotic manipulator was used to core and extract soil in-flight near an initially tilted model building. This soil extraction was to induce stress release, thereby mitigating the inclination of the building. Effects of different configurations and sequences of drilling on results of restoration were investigated in the centrifuge.
