Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It gives me much pleasure to introduce this work of Prof. Dr. Ing. Fumagalli, a work that covers both the development and present state of the art of structural model techniques. In my view, in this context, only a lack of understanding of the possibilities offered by experiments on models and sometimes an unjustified suspicion of them have up to now restricted the development that these methods deserve. I think, in particular, and the many examples quoted in the text bear witness to this, that models today constitute an efficient means of research that have been refined through advances in the methods of reproduction, testing and measurement. They represent a reliable and above all safe method of investigation, suitable for use in the elastic range and beyond up to failure, as much for historic ancient monuments as for modern works and structures of particularly bold design that are frequently highly redundant. They are a particularly valuable tool in areas where analytical methods are inadequate, and yet always useful for comparison with analytical results. Guido Oberti Preface I have embarked on writing a text on the techniques of structural models for two basic reasons: Firstly because I wish to attempt in some measure a personal appreciation of the subject based on more than twenty years experience, insofar as this can be achieved in a logically coherent and complete treatise.
