ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book addresses current activities in strong-motion networks around the globe, covering issues related to designing, maintaining and disseminating information from these arrays. The book is divided into three principal sections. The first section includes recent developments in regional and global ground-motion predictive models.
It presents discussions on the similarities and differences of ground motion estimations from these models and their application to design spectra as well as other novel procedures for predicting engineering parameters in seismic regions with sparse data. The second section introduces topics about the particular methodologies being implemented in the recently established global and regional strong-motion databanks in Europe to maintain and disseminate the archived accelerometric data. The final section describes major strong-motion arrays around the world and their historical developments. The last three chapters of this section introduce projects carried out within the context of arrays deployed for seismic risk studies in metropolitan areas.
Audience: This timely book will be of particular interest for researchers who use accelerometric data extensively to conduct studies in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology.

Dear Admin , moderators , and all members
now the steel item is playing an influenced role in our civilization life, and our forum is the most forum I have ever seen intrested in steel branch
so, my suggestion is to divide the steel books section as the following
1. Academic books
under this title we put all related materials ( books , master degrees , codes , manuals , searching,news, .. etc - other meaning we can join papers and books together under the above title
2. example and solved proplems
under this title we put all related materials ( example , solved proplems , calculation sheets , and discussion about any actual project under design , sharing existing projects especially which constructed by members
3. fabrication
fabrication is the (horse stall) - because there is no meaning to design without knowing HOW TO FABRICATE
under this title we put all related materials ( all the welding technology , welding types and how to apply, welding machine type and how to use , famous factories arround the wrold ,
4.method of statement
under this title we put all related materials ( installation method , equipments which used in erection, site proplems , safty ..... etc )
I know in advance it will be hard work for moderators and any one related to move the posts and rearrange it , but at least let us to start and work partially with the available time
believe me (the steel ) is very important branch and deserves that
thanks in advace even my suggestion will be rejected

The science and technology of coastal and ocean engineering are closely related to harbour and fishery engineering, because they share a common basic knowledge. However, whereas various publications of coastal engineering, harbour engineering, and ocean engineering have described just the knowledge in their own respective fields, an interrelated and systematic presentation linking them together has yet to be attempted. This book an attempt to systematically combine the fields of coastal, ocean, harbour, and fishery engineering from an engineering viewpoint backed by hydrodynamics. Understanding the interaction of waves with structures and sediment, and predicting the associated responses of interest, underlie nearly every problem in coastal and ocean engineering. This is precisely the goal of this book. Although primarily intended for use as a special textbook for graduate students and senior practising engineers, it is hoped that this book will also serve as a useful reference and assist in the further development of this field. With these objectives in mind, each chapter deals with important problems to be solved in the near future. The references included in each chapter should aid students and practising engineers in further broadening their knowledge.

This document specifies requirements and gives information on design, installation and testing and gives criteria for the acceptance of fixed landbased watermist systems for specific hazards and provides fire test protocols for a variety of hazard groups.
The requirements are not valid for watermist systems on ships, in aircraft, on vehicles and mobile fire appliances or for below ground systems in the mining industry. The requirements can be used as a guidance for other fixed firefighting systems, however, provided that any specific requirements for other firefighting supplies are taken into account. Aspects of watermist associated with explosion protection are beyond the scope of this document. As the fire test scenarios of this document apply to a group of similar applications, by analogy the successful performance of watermist systems also applies to that group, as defined in Annex A. Extrapolation is not covered.
The document is not intended to be used as a universal design manual of watermist, as different systems have different characteristics and hence follow different design criteria to satisfy their duty requirements. In the absence of a generalized design method, it is the intent of this document that watermist systems are full-scale fire tested and its system component evaluations are conducted by qualified testing laboratories.
The full system acceptance requires the relevant fire test report, the component test report(s) as well as manufacturer’s design, installation, operation and maintenance manual for the application.
If the gas in the system is a significant factor for extinguishment/suppression, the relevant parts of EN 12094 and EN 15004-1 are applicable. Firefighting systems in accordance with EN 12845 and water spray systems are not covered.
