Abstract This document presents state-of-the-practice information on the evaluation of soil and rock properties for geotechnical design applications. This document addresses the entire range of materials potentially encountered in highway engineering practice, from soft clay to intact rock and variations of materials that fall between these two extremes. Information is presented on parameters measured, evaluation of data quality, and interpretation of properties for conventional soil and rock laboratory testing, as well as in situ devices such as field vane testing, cone penetration testing, dilatometer, pressuremeter, and borehole jack. This document provides the design engineer with information that can be used to develop a rationale for accepting or rejecting data and for resolving inconsistencies between data provided by different laboratories and field tests.
This document also includes information on: (1) the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Personal Data Assistance devices for the collection and interpretation of subsurface information; (2) quantitative measures for evaluating disturbance of laboratory soil samples; and (3) the use of measurements from geophysical testing techniques to obtain information on the modulus of soil. Also included are chapters on evaluating properties of special soil materials (e.g., loess, cemented sands, peats and organic soils, etc.) and the use of statistical information in evaluating anomalous data and obtaining design values for soil and rock properties. An appendix of three detailed soil and rock property selection examples is provided which illustrate the application of the methods described in the document.

Hi every body!
Who have User's Guide to the USEPA Stormwater Management Model RUNOFF and supporting modules volume 1 and 2 ?
Please share it for me!
thanks

INTRODUCTION
I.1 GENERAL
A.The FDOT Structures Design Guidelines, (SDG) is Volume 1 of the Structures Manual. See the Structures Manual Introduction for additional information including authority, scope, distribution and process for modifications to the Manual.
B.The SDG incorporates technical design criteria and includes additions, deletions, or modifications to the requirements of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (LRFD).
C.This volume of the Structures Manual provides engineering standards, criteria, and guidelines for developing and designing bridges and retaining walls for which the Structures Design Office (SDO) and District Structures Design Offices (DSDO) have overall responsibility.
D.Information on miscellaneous roadway appurtenances as well as general administrative, geometric, shop drawing, and plans processing may be found in the Plans Preparation Manual, (PPM) Topic Nos. 625-000-007 and 625-000-008).
I.2 FORMAT
A.The SDG chapters are organized more by "component," "element," or "process" than by "material" as is the LRFD. As a result, the chapter numbers and content of the SDG do not necessarily align themselves in the same order or with the same number as LRFD. LRFD references are provided to quickly coordinate and associate SDG criteria with that of LRFD. The LRFD references may occur within article descriptions, the body of the text, or in the commentary and are shown within brackets; i.e., [1.3], [8.2.1]. See Table I.3-1 for a cross reference of the SDG to LRFD and Table I.3-2 for a cross reference of the SDG to AASHTO LRFD-Movable Highway Bridge Design Specifications. These cross references are provided only as an aid to the Designer and are not necessarily a complete listing of SDG and LRFD requirements.
B.The SDG is written in the active voice to Structural Designers, Professional Engineers, Engineers of Record, Structural Engineers, and Geotechnical Engineers engaged in work for the Florida Department of Transportation.

The behaviour and design of steel structures to BS5950
This new third edition of a highly regarded text, discusses the behavior of steel structures and the criteria used in design according to the British code BS5950:2000. Thus it serves to bridge the gap which too often occurs when attention is concentrated on methods of analysis and the sizing of structural components. Because emphasis is placed on the development of an understanding of behavior, many analytical details are either omitted in favor of more descriptive explanations, or are relegated to appendices. The many work examples both illustrate the behavior of steel structures, and exemplify details of the design process.
This third British edition has been directed specifically to the design of steel structures in accordance with the British standard BS5950: Part 1:2000. The removal of material on Australian and American methods of design has allowed the inclusion of additional material relevant to British practice,, and of more detail in the worked examples. This designers, teachers, and students using BS5950 will find greater clarity and more helpful material.

Now I'm a Year 2 student of Msc in Civil Engineering, It's time for me to start the thesis (design of small Earth dam).
1). First I have to find the Plane and formulation.
2). Analysis Flood Hydrology.
3). Selection of type of earth dam.
4).Physical factors for selection of earth dam.
5). Legal economic, and Static Consideration.
6). Foundation design.
7). Embankment design.
8). Embankment details.
9). Spillway design.
10). Outlet works.
11). Construction Process.
12). Dam safety.
I have registered to this forum for quite some time and always wanted to find opportunity to contribute.
However, with lack of technical experience and knowledge, I find myself hardly any platform for me to contribute.
Recently I saw that we have a CivilEA workshop, working on a real project with engineers all around the world, I find this is a good chance for me to get started to contribute positively to the community.
I PM-ed the Workshop leader and has confirmed my place in the workshop BS team.
I then wrote a introductory greeting post in the workshop topic and wish the workshop a great success.
It was a real sincere post but my post got deleted and I got a +2 points warning level. So, why
We understand the Mod are trying make this forum really clean and tidy, but my question is, when my sincere greeting move has been considered as spam, I see the reason why there isn't much reply.
What is your final objective? Are you expecting to see this forum, with many Topics, but all 0 replies, because everyone is just going to press the Thank you button? I agree that just saying "thank you" is considered spam, but why is my post being considered as spam as well?
Do you want to see the forum, having topics actively posted by the specific group of user (say 10%), and the 90% will just click Thank you (or maybe thats just the 10% top poster clicking thank you among themselves only - the rest are just submerging in this forum, get their information, and contribute nothing).
All due respect, and with no doubt of your qualification, I myself ran a couple of forums before and has successfully engage most of the users. Do you want this forum and the community to remain this way - only active due to the specific few users, or you want this group to expand, and slowly we get more and more % of active contributors?
When I make this post, I risk getting my post deleted and maybe I will get warning to another level - But I am still going to post this. I believe there are many users like me, wanted to contribute, but we are so restricted.
