Hi fellow CiviliEAns, my concern may strictly not be Engineering related, but allow me air it out.
a) I recently posted a thread in which I requested fellow forum users not to post links that contained words such as "video" or "desi" in them. This I did because we are on institutional internet and many of such links are not downloadable for they are blocked.
b) I usualy read posts of some of my fellow forum users complaining that some of the file sharing/hosting sites from which they were to download some of the useful information on this wonderful forum were blocked in their respective countries. This became a bit nagging because I faced the same problem and I did not want to perturb the upload team by continuously asking for alternative links to the downloads. I still feel so bad and seems not appreciative for me to continuously ask for alternative links and yet so much time has been spent in uploading the already existing ones.
c) Now the only way I had to communicate back home has been blocked!!!! This has been through yahoo messenger or Skype.
I have been majorly using these sites to communicate globally (through conference calls) on Engineering matters especially this time around that there is a transition from the respective codes (for the countries concerned) to the Eurocode.
For all the information I gather(relating to the advancement in technology) I try relaying it back home. And it is helping them alot!!!! As it is said Actions speak louder than words. Through a conference call, many benefit by it: it relates closely to a webinar.
Not forgetting also having a chat with my family!!!
I would like to use the services of this great forum, I believe in this site so much and I believe that a number of software gurus/experts may be reading this thread.
I weighed the possibility of owning a private internet connection but found it uneconomical:-just for Skype/yahoo messenger!!
For the File sharing sites, I may not have much to say for there may be a lot of resaons beyond my understanding.
But for Skype or yahoo messenger, I would greatly welcome ideas from concerned experts about this, say they may have or may be in position to develop small proxy softwares that can be used to bypass these two fire-walled sites. I have tried using some( not all ofcourse) proxy softwares available on the internet but they are continuously blocking them too, after a while of usage, may be they have simple codes. I belleve a better and lasting solution can can up from this forum.
Thanks and I welcome all your advice in regard to this.
Regards.
@ Moderators : In any case you find this thread not befitting to the forum, may you not hesitate deleting it. I will not press charges......... joking!!!!
The recent worldwide boom in industrial construction and the corresponding billions of dollars spent every year in industrial, oil, gas, and petrochemical and power generation project, has created fierce competition for these projects. Strong management and technical competence will bring your projects in on time and on budget. An in-depth exploration of both these aspects and the resulting challenges, Construction Management and Design of Industrial Concrete and Steel Structures provides a practical guide to the design of reinforced concrete and steel structures and foundations in industrial projects. Renowned expert Mohamed A. El-Reedy covers the entire industrial construction process, from project management to design and construction to sigh off and providing a maintenance plan. Highlighting the differences between industrial construction and real estate or residential construction, he examines every phase and every role, from managerial to technical. He includes cases from industrial projects and covers the international technical practices, codes, and standards used in steel or concrete onshore or offshore projects. The book provides up-to-date methodologies in structure analysis, geotechnical studies, and international special codes and standards for industrial structures such as tanks, foundation under towers, machines, and special structures in industrial projects. It also examines the safety and economic benefits of developing a structure integrity management system. When a project has a budget that seems as huge at the structure itself, the client, engineering firm, and contractor must work together to achieve success. Discussing the interface between these three main partners, this book outlines strategies for checking the design and controlling a project in all its phases.

Coastal Engineering: Process, Theory and Design Practice
Author: A. Chadwick | Size: 5.75 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Taylor and Francis | Year: 2004 | pages: 416 | ISBN: 0415268419 & 9780415268417
The United Nations estimate that by 2004, in excess of 75% of the world's population will live within the coastal zone. These regions are therefore of critical importance to a majority of the world's citizens. The coastal zone provides important economic, transport, residential and recreational functions, all of which depend upon its physical characteristics, appealing landscape, cultural heritage, natural resources and rich marine and terrestrial biodiversity. This resource is thus the foundation for the well being and economic viability of present and future generations of coastal zone residents The pressure on coastal environments is also being exacerbated by rapid changes in global climate. The value of the coastal zone to humanity, and the enormous pressure on it, provide strong incentives for a greater scientific understanding which can ensure effective coastal engineering practice and efficient and sustainable management.
Coastal Engineering: Processes, Theory and Design Practice is the only book providing a thorough introduction to all aspects of coastal processes, morphology and design of coastal defences. The use of detailed and state-of-the art modelling techniques are an important theme of this book, and there are numerous case studies showing actual examples where mathematical modelling has been applied through engineering judgement.
With thorough coverage of the theory, and practical demonstration of the applications, Coastal Engineering: Processes, Theory and Design Practice is a must have for all students and engineers working in coastal management and engineering.

BRE Building Elements Walls, windows and doors Performance, diagnosis, maintenance, repair and the avoidance of defects
Author: R C de Vekey, H W Harrison | Size: 8.92 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: IHS BRE press | Year: 1998 | pages: 302 | ISBN: 186081235X
This third book in the BRE Building Elements series considers the main vertical elements of buildings, both external (including walls, windows and doors) and internal (including separating walls, partitions and internal doors). It deals in outline with the performance requirements of the spaces from which the required performances of the walls are derived, and also, in principle, with the achieved performances and deficiencies of the fabric over the whole age range of the national building stock. This book is addressed primarily to building surveyors and other professionals performing similar functions, such as architects and builders, who maintain, repair, extend and renew the national building stock. It will also find application in the education field, where lecturers can find indication of where the construction syllabus needs attention. Statistics are given of BRE Advisory Service investigations of walls by type of defect and by type of building. 308 pages.

BRE Building Elements Floors and flooring Performance, diagnosis, maintenance, repair and the avoidance of defects
Author: P W Pye, H W Harrison | Size: 12.65 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: IHS BRE press | Year: 2003 | pages: 313 | ISBN: 1860816312
Revised edition (2003) - Floors and flooring describes the materials and production methods and criteria which are used in the construction of these major elements of buildings. A more specific purpose is to draw the attention of readers to the features of floors and flooring which ensure good performance, and to the things that go wrong so that they can be avoided. Drawing from BRE experience, this book provides the building professional with a checklist of points of concern, and where to obtain further information and advice. Particular effort has been given to providing the reader with visual illustrations where they will enhance points made in the text: over 200 photographs and 170 drawings of floors and floor construction details; also case studies, feature panels and checklists. A surveyor’s inspection list appears at the end of each of the chapters on floor types and coverings. Includes: Appendix A How to identify less recognisable floors and their substrates; Appendix B How to choose a flooring, plus 10 pages of references and further reading. 310 pages.
