Model Law for Concrete Structures under Dynamic Loads,
Abstract
Most physical systems can be studied by means of scale models whose behavior relates in a known way to that of a prototype. The problem is to write a valid scaling law that accurately displays this similarity. This requires a certain familiarity with the physical concepts involved in the system. Certain laws of similitude must be observed to ensure that model test data can be applied to the prototype. The following sections provide insight and rationale for use in defining a scaling law for reinforced concrete under dynamic loads. (Author)
