Abstract
The full-scale field tests of constructions give exact results. However in some cases it can't be done because it depends on the weather, money, and time... in those cases it can be substituted by small- scale model tests. By qualitative results, it can give the distribution of applying pressures, the forms of failures, displacements, and deformations of construction. With those results, we can establish the theories of calculation for actual structures.
