Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical role of physical modelling in understanding the complex behaviours of structures, particularly through the use of scaled-down models. It explores the historical context and the necessity of similitude laws to ensure accurate representation of full-scale structures. The text provides an in-depth analysis of two primary scaling techniques: replica similitude and Froude similitude. Replica scaling, which uses the same materials as the prototype, is discussed in detail, including its limitations and the challenges of applying it to static structural applications. Froude scaling, designed to compensate for gravitational effects without artificial gravity, is also thoroughly examined, highlighting its effectiveness in various engineering scenarios. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of adhering to similitude principles for reliable results and provides a comprehensive overview of the methodologies and their applications in civil engineering.
