During The TC2 meeting at St John's (Canada) in July 2002, the firts author, J. Garnier (LCPC), suggested making an inventory of the scaling laws and similitude questions relating to centrifuge modelling. The aim of this catalogue is to present the questions already solved (with the references of the papers where results have been presented) and the unsolved problems (on which research should continue). This catalogue will be regurlarly updated, every four years during the International Conferences on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics. The latest version of the catalogue is available on the TC2 website (www.tc2.civil.uwa.edu.au).
