Owing to the stress–dependent nature of soil properties, the use of models under increased gravity is the most satisfactory method of testing the very large structures encountered in civil engineering. This paper outlines some of the problems produced by a high ‘g’ environment in the measurement of strain, displacement and soil and water pressure.
