"The best feature of this textbook is its focus on construction applications. This textbook does a good job of balancing the engineering principles with the construction processes in the study of soils." — Greg Ohrn, Northern Arizona University
"The strength of the text is that it presents technical material in a very understandable way to students who are more oriented towards non-technical, more managerial subjects." — Constantine A. Ciesieiski, East Carolina University
Product Description
This book uses only simple mathematics and emphasizes applications to explore the nature of soils and how they can influence certain construction operations. An introduction to soil materials is followed by a discussion of soils in the construction contract. Specifications from example contracts influenced by soil materials are discussed, as are the applications of soil behavior principles. For contractors, owners, technicians, lawyers, and engineers in the construction field.

Abstract:
Non-linear computer analysis methods have seen remarkable advancement in the last half-century. The state-of-the-art in non-linear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete has progressed to the point where such procedures are close to being practical, every-day tools for design office engineers. Non-linear computer analysis procedures can be used to provide reliable assessments of the strength and integrity of damaged or deteriorated structures, or of structures built to previous codes, standards or practices deemed to be deficient today. They can serve as valuable tools in assessing the expected behaviour from retrofitted structures, or in investigating and rationally selecting amongst various repair alternatives.
fib Bulletin 45 provides an overview of current concepts and techniques relating to computer-based finite element modelling of structural concrete. It summarises the basic knowledge required for use of nonlinear analysis methods as applied to practical design, construction and maintenance of concrete structures, and attempts to provide a diverse and balanced portrayal of the current technical knowledge, recognizing that there are often competing and conflicting viewpoints.
This report does not give advice on picking one model over another but, rather, provides guidance to designers on how to use existing and future models as tools in design practice, in benchmarking of their models against established and reliable test data and in selecting an appropriate safety factor as well as recognising various pitfalls.
fib Bulletin 45 is intended for practicing engineers, and therefore focuses more on practical application and less on the subtleties of constitutive modelling.

ISO 6784:1982 Concrete -- Determination of static modulus of elasticity in compression
Author: ISO TC 71 | Size: 0.3 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: ISO | Year: 1982 | pages: 5
Specifies a method for the determination of the static modulus of elasticity in compression of hardened concrete, on test specimens which may be cast or taken from a structure. Covers also apparatus, test specimens, preparation of test specimens, determination or compressive strength and static modulus of elasticity, expression of results, and test report.
Dear friends, this standard is revised by ISO 1920-10:2010. If someone of you have the new standard, please share it.

Essential Java serves as an introduction to the programming language, Java, for scientists and engineers, and can also be used by experienced programmers wishing to learn Java as an additional language. The book focuses on how Java, and object-oriented programming, can be used to solve science and engineering problems.
Many examples are included from a number of different scientific and engineering areas, as well as from business and everyday life. Pre-written packages of code are provided to help in such areas as input/output, matrix manipulation and scientific graphing.
Java source code and solutions to selected exercises are available at:

I don't know whether this has been suggested before but I was thinking it would be better if we could do a few changes in the Books/Codes/Journals & Papers Request section. Right now everyone is requesting for different kind of stuffs likes books ,journal papers etc and the number of threads is really getting a lot and hard to browse.
My suggestion is that we add some sub forums to this section such as : Books Request Journals & Papers Request
and like this.
we can also open up a new main threads for the famous journals like what i did for the Earthquake Engng & Struct. Dyn. or like what there already was for ASCE Journal Structur. Engrg. In this case if any user needs a paper from these journals he doesn't have to open up a new thread for it. he would simply post a reply and request for it in its appropriate main thread. By the way I think It will be a lot easier for those users who have access to these journals to help him with his request paper.
thanks for your attention
just to post his Request paper here
to start
I really need these two papers ,can anyone help me with them:
