Centrifugal model testing, pioneered by the U.S. Bureau of Mines, developed in the USSR, and advanced in both England and Japan, has been used to provide a realistic approach for solving complex soil mechanics problems. The basic concept of this testing technique is to create a scale model similar in every respect to a prototype and to subject the model to an acceleration such that the increase in self-weight stresses is equivalent to those at corresponding points in the prototype. With this method, the investigator can observe, in a short period of time, a sequence of events that is analogous to that occurring in the prototype over a long period of time. Published work concerning the theoretical and practical application of the centrifugal model testing was reviewed and documented. Various devices and techniques used in centrifuge model testing were studied. The feasibility of a centrifugal testing facility at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) was examined. Major advantages and limitations of the modelling technique were also discussed in this study. Based on the review of literature and the large number of centrifugal testing facilities being used around the world, soil modelling using the centrifuge is technically attractive and appears to have great potential for solving geotechnical problems that cannot be solved adequately by conventional means. WES offers an ideal environment for the establishment of such a facility. (Author).

Physical models have been, and continue to be used by engineers when faced with unprecedented challenges, when engineering science has been non-existent or inadequate, and in any other situation when the engineer has needed to raise their confidence in a design proposal to a sufficient level to begin construction. For this reason, models have mostly been used by designers and constructors of highly innovative projects, when previous experience has not been available. The book covers the history of using of physical models in the design and development of civil and building engineering projects including bridges in the mid-18th century, William Fairbairn?s Britannia bridge in the 1840s, the masonry Aswan Dam in the 1890s, concrete dams in the 1920s, thin concrete shell roofs and the dynamic behaviour of tall buildings in earthquakes from the 1930s, tidal flow in estuaries and the acoustics of concert halls from the 1950s, and cable-net and membrane structures in the 1960s. Traditionally, progress in engineering has been attributed to the creation and use of engineering science, the understanding materials properties and the development of new construction methods. The book argues that the use of reduced scale models have played an equally important part in the development of civil and building engineering. However, like the history of engineering design itself, this crucial contribution has not been widely reported or celebrated. The book concludes with reviews of the current use of physical models alongside computer models, for example, in boundary layer wind tunnels, room acoustics, seismic engineering, hydrology, and air flow in buildings.

The extremes of constitutive and centrifuge modelling are explored here, with a range of lectures addressing specific areas of these two types of modelling as well as on specific design problems and the themes of failure, deformations and interfaces.
