The ASCE Annual Structures Congress that took place in Las Vegas Nevada in April 14-16, 2011, has several presentations in PPT and PDF.
This link allows you to see the technical program. If you click into any session, you can see the abstract. Some of the presenters uploaded their presentations that may be of interest to some. For the next bit of time some more presentations will be uploaded. Not sure when the site will go off-line

Abstract
Intended to assist with the breadth of choice in state-of-the-art materials by viewing it as an opportunity for innovative and unique design. Explores the history of technological development, describes manufacturing processes, discusses materials, and outlines specific design constraints. Contemporary examples of component design in building construction illustrate current practice.

Understanding dampness - effects, causes, diagnosis and remedies
Author: Trotman, P., Sanders, C. and Harrison, H. | Size: 9.76 MB | Format:PDF | Year: 2004 | pages: 226 | ISBN: 9781860816864
Abstract
Dampness is a continuing cause of distress to building occupants. It is a possible source of, or a contributor to, illness, and it encourages deterioration in the fabric of a building. With an emphasis on existing buildings and some coverage of the design of new build, this publication lists the causes of dampness and explores its effects. It also provides remedial measures. Topics covered include: Visible and hidden effects of dampness, Measuring moisture, Condensation, Rain penetration, Rising damp etc.

The main purpose of this book is to present all the ingredients for constructing the numerical models for representing the complex nonlinear behavior of structures and their components, which are represented as deformable solid bodies. Nonetheless, the book will also prove useful for those mostly interested in linear problems of mechanics, since the sure way to obtain a sound theoretical formulation of a linear problem goes through the consistent linearization of the more general nonlinear problem.
The original French edition published by Hermes Science - Lavoisier Paris in 2006 was nominated for the Roberval Award for University Textbooks in French.

EN 13286-50:2004 Unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures - Part 50: Method for the manufacture of test specimens of hydraulically bound mixtures using Proctor equipment or vibrating table compaction
This document specifies a test method for making cylindrical specimens of hydraulically bound mixture to a predetermined density using Proctor equipment or vibrating table compaction. The method is appropriate for mixtures, or that part of a mixture, containing aggregate up to a maximum size of 31,5 mm.

Author: S. F. Greb, C. F. Eble, D. C. Peters, A. R. Papp | Size: 2.7 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: American Geological Institute | Year: 2006 | pages: 68 | ISBN: 0922152772
The book explains the uses and importance of coal, the environmental concerns associated with its mining and use, and how technological advances are making coal an environmentally cleaner fuel. Includes a full-color poster with information about the mining cycle, from exploration through land reclamation.

In the following pages an attempt has been made to present the principles of elementary dynamics, and to explain the meaning of the physical quantities involved, partly by definition and description, but mainly by worked examples in which formulae have been avoided as far as possible. By continually having to think of the principle and the physical quantities involved, the student gradually acquires the true meaning of them, and they become real to him.

The purpose of this text is to provide the students with the theoretical background of the three dimensional mechanics of rigid body and its applications to engineering problems existing in mechanical systems. As most of the engineering subjects this part of mechanics is presented in three parts: Modelling, Analysis and Experimental Investigations.
