The Application of Similitude to Protective Construction Research,
Abstract
The complexities of the phenomena involved in the dynamic response of an underground structure are familiar to all who have approached the problem. Research into the nature of these phenomena is being pursued by various theoretical and experimental approaches. This paper proposes that cognizance be made of a specific approach which offers rather unique advantages and potential promise in providing early answers to the problems of input effects and structural response. It is submitted that application of the theory of similitude to selected studies in protective construction research will potentially lead to information adequate to the designer's needs and at a considerable savings in research time and money.
