Introduction:
Many people became aware of the risk of tsunamis only after the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 24, 2004, which killed 220 thousand people. However, tsunamis occur every year around the world.
Figure 1.1 shows the map of earthquake centres within the recent 100 years. Large earthquakes occur mainly around the boundaries of tectonic plates which cover the earth. The major cause of tsunamis is earthquakes occurring at the edges of the plates, where subduction zones develop due to the everlasting movement of tectonic plates. Tsunamis also occur due to large marine landslides and volcanic eruptions.
Areas that have been attacked by tsunamis in the past are very likely to be attacked again by tsunamis in the future. For example, the subduction zone earthquakes off Tokai Coast in Japan occur at intervals of about 150 years. It should be noted, however, that the intervals of the earthquakes vary significantly depending on the geological characteristics of the subduction zones. The intervals can be estimated by historical documents of tsunami disasters or tsunami deposits in coastal areas. Earthquake geology is being developed to estimate the past and future subduction zone earthquakes.
‘Tsunami’ is a Japanese word written with two Chinese characters. ‘Tsu’ means harbour/port and ‘nami’ means wave, and therefore ‘tsunami’ means ‘harbour/port wave’ in Japanese. The naming comes from the fact that tsunamis seem to appear suddenly and become very violent in shallow areas, attacking low-lying areas that are actively used and densely populated, such as port areas. Port areas around the world have often suffered from tsunami disasters with large numbers of casualties.
This report was prepared to help people in such vulnerable areas protect themselves against tsunami attacks. It is especially written for those responsible for the safety of the people and continuity of the business in such areas. Chapter 2 presents examples of damage due to tsunamis especially in ports giving them a general view of the damage that can result from a tsunami attack. Chapter 3 explains the mechanism of tsunamis from their generation to their run-up, and Chapters 4 and 5 introduce the behaviour of tsunami and its effects on port facilities. Chapter 6 presents recommendations for disaster management in ports, and Chapter 7 offers recommendations for warning and evacuation in case of a tsunami attack. Chapter 8 discusses structural countermeasures that can be implemented for protection against tsunamis. It is recommended to understand recent progress on tsunami technology from the references listed below.

Abstract:
Compiles the results of tests performed in order to obtain information on the magnitude of the slip factor that may be adopted in design calculations for structural connections formed with high-strength friction grip bolts, partly in view to comparing different surface treatments and partly to determining the effects of atmospheric actions, dust, dirt, grease and oil.

Fatigue has long been recognized as a mechanism that can provoke catastrophic material failure in structural applications and researchers are now turning to the development of prediction tools in order to reduce the cost of determining design criteria for any new material. Fatigue of Fiber-reinforced Composites explains these highly scientific subjects in a simple yet thorough way.
Fatigue behavior of fiber-reinforced composite materials and structural components is described through the presentation of numerous experimental results. Many examples help the reader to visualize the failure modes of laminated composite materials and structural adhesively bonded joints. Theoretical models, based on these experimental data, are demonstrated and their capacity for fatigue life modeling and prediction is thoroughly assessed.
Fatigue of Fiber-reinforced Composites gives the reader the opportunity to learn about methods for modeling the fatigue behavior of fiber-reinforced composites, about statistical analysis of experimental data, and about theories for life prediction under loading patterns that produce multiaxial fatigue stress states. The authors combine these theories to establish a complete design process that is able to predict fatigue life of fiber-reinforced composites under multiaxial, variable amplitude stress states. A classic design methodology is presented for demonstration and theoretical predictions are compared to experimental data from typical material systems used in the wind turbine rotor blade industry.
Fatigue of Fiber-reinforced Composites also presents novel computational methods for modeling fatigue behavior of composite materials, such as artificial neural networks and genetic programming, as a promising alternative to the conventional methods. It is an ideal source of information for researchers and graduate students in mechanical engineering, civil engineering and materials science.

Interpreting Soil Test Results is a practical reference for those who need to interpret results from laboratory analysis of soil. It has a comprehensive listing of the soil properties relevant to most environmental and natural land resource issues and investigations.
The precursor to this book, What Do All the Numbers Mean?, known as The Numbers Book, was widely used and accepted for interpreting soil test results. This new edition has been completely updated and many sections have been expanded, particularly those on acid sulfate soils and soil salinity. It is a handy and straightforward guide to interpretation of the numbers associated with a wide range of soil tests.

I did a successful installation of CSC Fastrak v15 but I don't know why all the pdf format manuals for CSC Fastrak under documentation folder are 0kb size. Inside documentation folder I can see Advisory notes, manuals and product bulletins folder. Each folder consists of documents, notes and manuals.
I would like to request all CSC Fastrak v15 manuals in pdf format under documentation folder.
Dynamic Performance Requirements for Permanent Grandstands Subject to Crowd Action (2008)
Size: 16.022 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: The Institution of Structural Engineers | Year: December 2008 | pages: 60 | ISBN: ISBN 9781906335120
Dynamic Performance Requirements for permanent grandstands subject to crowd action (2008)
Product Description:
This report supersedes both Dynamic Performance Requirements for permanent grandstands subject to crowd action; Interim guidance on assessment and design (2001) and Dynamic testing of Grandstands and seating decks (2002).
Written for everyone who has responsibility for grandstands, including owners, operators, managers, architects, insurers and engineering designers, as well as local authority staff dealing with building control and safety issues.
The appendices within are directed particularly at the engineering analyst and designer.
The recommendations apply to grandstands with seating decks constructed in structural steel, reinforced or prestressed concrete and combinations of these forms of construction.
No recommendations are made for the use of subsidiary systems to provide additional damping or active control.
The recommendations are considered relevant to grandstands with seating decks having a supported span greater than 6m or cantilever spans of more than 2.5m.
The publication was prepared by a joint working group of the Institution, Department for Communities and Local Government, and the Department for Culture Media and Sport.

Hope you all are doing fine. Plz be informed that I failed to upload images just now. I tried several times and it showed some sorts of errors and mentioned that due to disk write protection it cant upload images.
For all of your kind attention, I would like to let you all know that I tried to upload images using Amazon link (as advised by my friend Grunf). Also, plz be informed that i am doing upload picture from Amazon image for a long time. This is the first time I am facing this problem.
Plz do check it and let me know about it.
