Abstract:
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.

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.

The highly important question of accuracy of model results is explored in this paper. Before a decision is made to proceed with a model study the decision maker should be cognizant of the accuracy which can reasonably be expected in a model study, and once the decision to proceed is made, the model enigneer should know of the techniques and procedures which will lead to useful dependable results.
