The most important, up-to-date book on planning, building, and maintaining ports
In response to the demands of a globalized world economy, resulting in dramatic changes in vessels, cargo handling, and shipping technologies, Port Engineering presents in one volume the latest information and common- sense guidelines on port planning, construction, maintenance, and security.
Written and edited by internationally recognized authorities in the industry, this comprehensive volume addresses issues related to the development of major ports and small craft harbors, design and construction of basic bottom-fixed and floating terminals, and other facilities and systems essential to the functionality of any port.
Port Engineering is a one-stop source of up-to-date, dependable material on port design and construction. It provides the latest information on modern vessels and modern cargo handling and hauling technologies, as well as:
Seismic guidelines and loads for design of port-related marine structures
Design and construction of breakwaters, navigation channels, and offshore moorings
Dredging and environmental issues associated with port construction and operation
Heightened port security and associated practices
Every engineer working with ports will find Port Engineering an essential volume for his or her shelf.

Earthquake Engineering - Mechanism, Damage Assessment and Structural Design
Author: Borg, S. F. | Size: 11 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: World Scientific | Year: 1988-2nd ed | pages: 356 | ISBN: 9789971504359
This book presents new comprehensive rational quantitative theories (utilizing fundamental energy concepts throughout) covering the entire earthquake event from the point of view of the engineer. It starts with a mathematical analysis of an underground mechanism (the earthquake), then proceeds to determinations of the timewise and spacewise variations of the fundamental engineering damage-design parameter, the ground energy. Finally, the new theories are applied to a number of typical (actual) structural and non-structural design problems. Each chapter of the first edition has now been improved and enlarged and new chapters have been added to include recent research by the author and his graduate students.

Author: Prof. Tom Paulay | Size: 3.2 MB | Format:PDF | Year: 1995 | pages: 25
This article is a must have article, which was authored by the late Prof. Tom Paulay and presented in 2nd Int. Concference of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering in Tehran, Iran, 1995. It explains about seismic design strategy, particularly to RC structures, and summarized its application to ductile frames, building with structural walls, and frame-wall system.

Dear Administrator,
I have a small suggestion regarding the wording of the revised Rules as posted today.
My suggestion is as follows:
Here is the newest version (v.2) of this Forum Rules:
1- You must use the POST GENERATOR for posting a new Thread that references to new material.
2- Transparent Links are not allowed; all links must be put in code tags.
3- If you are in agreement (or agree) with a post use the Thanks/Agree button. Any post that includes thanks only will be deleted & that user will receive a warning.
4- If anyone uses 2 or more user names in this Forum he/she will be banned from the Forum.
5- If you create a Thread with information from another site or place, please provide a reference in your post.
6- Don't duplicate requests of books, software, etc. in the Thread.
This book contains the edited papers presented at the Third International Conference on High Performance Structures and Materials and it addresses issues involving advanced types of structures, particularly those based on new concepts or new types of materials. Particular emphasis is placed on intelligent smart structures as well as the application of computational methods to model, control and manage these structures and materials. The book covers topics such as: Damage and Fracture Mechanics; Composite Materials and Structures; Optimal Design; Adhesion and Adhesives; Natural Fibre Composites; Failure Criteria of FRP; Non-linear Behaviour of FRP Structures; Material Characterization; High Performance Materials; High Performance Concretes; Aerospace Structures; Reliability of Structures; Ceramics in Engineering.
