The paper focusses on the use of physical modelling in ground movements (induced by underground cavity collapse or mining/tunnelling) and associated soil-structure interaction issues. The paper presents first an overview of using 1g physical models to solve geotechnical problems and soil-structure in-teractions related to vertical ground movements. Then the 1g physical modelling application is illustrated to study the development of damage in masonry structure due to subsidence and cavity collapse. A large-scale 1g physical model with a 6 m3 container and 15 electric jacks is presented with the use of a three-dimensional (3D) image correlation technique. The influence of structure position on the subsidence trough is analysed in terms of crack density and damage level. The obtained results can improve the methodology and practice for evaluation of damage in masonry structures. Nevertheless, ideal physical model is difficult to achieve. Thus, future improvement of physical models (analogue materials and instrumentation) could provide new opportunities for using 1g physical models in geotechnical and soil-structure applications and research projects.
