Abstract:
This report summarizes the feasibility of, and scaling relationships for, centrifugal modelling of the GLCM shelter. Similitude between model and prototype is deemed possible if constitutively similar reinforced concrete and soil are used in the model. However, currently available US centrifuges limit GLCM shelter model scales to 1/150 to 1/300, which causes difficulties in model construction with microconcrete and miniaturized reinforcement. Therefore, centrifugal modelling of GLCM components, coupled with computer analyses, is recommended. (Author)
