Abstract:
Classified under 21 section titles the 159 references from 186 authors included in this bibliography have been selected as representative of the material available in each category within the broad field of model testing. Both early and current references have been included to show how the art of model testing has advanced, and both detailed and cursory studies have been included to show how the art varies today. This bibliography is selective rather than all-inclusive.

Norval Dobbs and Edward Cohen
Comparision of results of full-and model-scale explosive tests of cubicles and other similar reinforced concrete protective structures have shown that a reasonable estimate of the blast-resistant capabilities of these structures can be obtained from model tests as small as one-tenth scale. However, the results of the above tests have also indicated that care must be exercised in the preparation of the model and the test site as well as in the performance of the test in order to achieve the test data desired.

Manuel Rocha and Antonio Ferreira Da Silveira
A description of the methods used at the Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) for determining the state of stress due to temperature changes in concrete dams. Illustrations of some results obtained are included with photographs of the instruments and setups used. According to the conclusions, the results are sufficiently accurate for practical applications, and these tests should be carried out whenever fairly important thermal stresses are anticipated.

The authors discuss the economic factors governing the choice of model analysis for a preliminary feasibility study, as the sole basis of structural design, and as a supplementary method for verifying an approximate analysis.
