58 participants met under a workshop sponsored by NATO under Science for Peace Project SfP977484 during May 17-21, 2004. The participants included a selection of leaders in the field of strong motion seismology and instrumentation and response of structures to strong shaking. The state of the art in ground motion observation systems and the future directions in the field were discussed at the workshop.
Outstanding problems for strong motion instrumentation identified at this workshop include:
1.the need for records of strong shaking very close to the causative fault for earthquakes of all mechanisms;
2.how to use simple observations of the geology and geophysics at a site to significantly reduce the uncertainties in ground motion
prediction;
3.to obtain records of structural degradation during a strong earthquake;
4.to understand extreme ground motions and to reduce the uncertainties in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis
5.the need for blind predictions to validate methods of ground motion prediction, basin response prediction, and structural response modeling.

INTRODUCTION
As discussed in earlier chapters the main advantages of structural steel over other construction materials are its strength and ductility. It has a higher strength to cost ratio in tension and a slightly lower strength to cost ratio in compression when compared with concrete. The stiffness to weight ratio of steel is much higher than that of concrete. Thus, structural steel is an efficient and economic material in bridges. Structural steel has been the natural solution for long span bridges since 1890, when the Firth of Forth cantilever bridge, the world's major steel bridge at that time was completed. Steel is indeed suitable for most span ranges, but particularly for longer spans. Howrah Bridge, also known as Rabindra Setu, is to be looked at as an early classical steel bridge in India. This cantilever bridge was built in 1943. It is 97 m high and 705 m long. This engineering marvel is still serving the nation, deriding all the myths that people have about steel. [See Fig. 1]

A wind turbine tower design based on the use of fibre-reinforced composites
Author: E. Gutiérrez, S. Primi, F. Taucer, P. Caperan, D. Tirelli (ELSA-JRC), J. Mieres, I. Calvo J. Rodriguez, F. Vallano (NECSO), C. Galiotis, D. Mouzakis (FORTH) | Size: 5.5 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: European Communities | Year: 2003 | pages: 171
This report summarises the key features of the MEGAWIND FRP composite tower design and the experimental campaign conducted on 1/3 scale prototype specimens. The report highlights the problems and lessons learnt from the manufacturing process and how these affect the overall design. The results of Finite Element models are compared to experimental data and are then used to predict the behaviour of the proposed full-scale prototype. The effects of environmental factors on the constituent materials are studied with an accelerated ageing campaign and recommendations are made on the basis of the observed degradation.
Project funded by the European Community under the FP5 programme.

Ellingwood, B.; Galambos, T. V.; MacGregor, J. G.; and Cornell, C. A., "Development of a Probability Based Load Criterion for American National Standard A58
I'm very interesting about reliability based design of structure.
Description
Serviceability failures of concrete structures involving excessive cracking or deflection are relatively common, even in structures that comply with code requirements. This is often as a result of a failure to adequately account for the time-dependent deformations of concrete in the design of the structure. The serviceability provisions embodied in codes of practice are relatively crude and, in some situations, unreliable and do not adequately model the in-service behaviour of structures. In particular, they fail to adequately account for the effects of creep and shrinkage of the concrete. Design for serviceability is complicated by the non-linear and inelastic behaviour of concrete at service loads.
Providing detailed information, this book helps engineers to rationally predict the time-varying deformation of concrete structures under typical in-service conditions. It gives analytical methods to help anticipate time-dependent cracking, the gradual change in tension stiffening with time, creep induced deformations and the load independent strains caused by shrinkage and temperature changes. The calculation procedures are illustrated with many worked examples.
A vital guide for practising engineers and advanced students of structural engineering on the design of concrete structures for serviceability and provides a penetrating insight into the time-dependent behaviour of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.

ISO 9194:1987 Bases for design of structures -- Actions due to the self-weight of structures, non-structural elements and stored materials -- Density
Author: ISO TC 98/SC 3 | Size: 1.73 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: ISO | Year: 1987 | pages: 10
Defines the actions due to the self-weight of structures, non-structural elements and stored materials and gives the numerical values of their densities. These actions are to be determined by multiplying the densities by the gravitational acceleration and by the actual volume. The actions caused by the weight of the earth placed on the structures are similarly calculated.
