Concerned with the fundamental concepts and methods of fracture mechanics and micromechanics, Fracture Mechanics primarily focuses on the mechanical description of fracture process; however, material specific aspects are also discussed. The presentation of continuum mechanical and phenomenological foundations is followed by an introduction into classical failure hypotheses. A major part of the book is devoted to linear elastic and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. Further subjects are creep fracture, dynamic fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, probabilistic fracture mechanics, failure of thin films and fracture of piezoelectric materials. The book also contains an extensive introduction into micromechanics. Self-contained and well-illustrated, this text serves as a graduate-level text and reference.

A Method for Dynamic Characteristics Estimation of Subsurface using Microtremor on the Ground Surface
Author: Yutaka NAKAMURA | Size: 557 KB | Format:PDF | Publisher: QR of RTRI | Year: 1989 | pages: 25-33
Original paper of Nakamura defining H/V technique for estimating local site predominant period and relative soil amplification.
Summary:
This paper describes a new processing method that employs microtremor observation yet producing accurate estimation of characteristics of the ground motion. The method uses vertical component and horizontal components.
As a result, the spectrum ratio of the horizontal components and vertical component of microtremor bears resemblance to transfer function for horizontal motion of surface layers.

Hi dear friends
I'm defending my master thesis tommorow, and after that I'll probably be unemployed,
I was thinking on trying to move somewhere, and my currently No 1 location wish is Canada. Are there any canadian member on the forum, which might help me? I didn't yet apply for the canadian skilled worker program, cause I don't know the exact requirement. What do I have to do to legally become a structural engineer in Canada? Any help would be appreciated.
If anybody has it, pls share this book. Thanx in advance.

On 12 July 2007 the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) will issue a
revised edition of the “Schedules of Dayworks Carried out Incidental to Contract
Work”. The new edition, replacing the previous Schedules issued in 2002, is the
publication referred to in the ICE Conditions of Contract to assist pricing of work
undertaken on a daywork basis where no other schedules are included with contract
documentation. Rates and prices included in the Schedules apply to work carried out
on a daywork basis on or after the date of publication. All plant rates have been recalculated to better reflect current costs which contractors expend in carrying out
additional work on a labour, plant and material basis.
The “bible” of the water quality industry – updated to reflect the latest trends, technologies, and regulations
Operations of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants— MOP 11 is the industry flagship book, focusing on the operation and maintenance of municipal wastewater treatment plants. Presented in three shrinkwrapped, hardcover volumes, this classic resource incorporates the experiences, best practices, and innovations from thousands of wastewater plants. Taken as a whole, these three volumes represent the most complete package of information available to the wastewater treatment industry.
