This book is a collection of invited lectures including the 5th Nicholas Ambraseys distinguished lecture, four keynote lectures and twenty-two thematic lectures presented at the 16th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering, held in Thessaloniki, Greece, in June 2018. The lectures are put into chapters written by the most prominent internationally recognized academics, scientists, engineers and researchers in Europe. They address a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art and cutting-edge topics in earthquake engineering, engineering seismology and seismic risk assessment and management.
The book is of interest to civil engineers, engineering seismologists, seismic risk managers, policymakers and consulting companies covering a wide spectrum of fields from geotechnical and structural earthquake engineering, to engineering seismology and seismic risk assessment and management. Scientists, professional engineers, researchers, civil protection policymakers and students interested in the seismic design of civil engineering structures and infrastructures, hazard and risk assessment, seismic mitigation policies and strategies, will find in this book not only the most recent advances in the state-of-the-art, but also new ideas on future earthquake engineering and resilient design of structures.

This book presents the most recent advances on the mechanics of soft and composite shells and their nonlinear vibrations and stability, including advanced problems of modeling human vessels (aorta) with fluid-structure interaction. It guides the reader into nonlinear modelling of shell structures in applications where advanced composite and complex biological materials must be described with great accuracy. To achieve this goal, the book presents nonlinear shell theories, nonlinear vibrations, buckling, composite and functionally graded materials, hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, nonlinear damping, rubber and soft biological materials. Advanced nonlinear shell theories, not available in any other book, are fully derived in a simple notation and are ready to be implemented in numerical codes. The work features a blend of the most advanced theory and experimental results, and is a valuable resource for researchers, professionals and graduate students, especially those interested in mechanics, aeronautics, civil structures, materials, bioengineering and solid matter at different scales.

This guide assists practitioners in understanding: 1) twisting moments in two-way slabs, when twisting moments are an essential consideration; 2) methods that can be used to account for twisting moments in design; and 3) the options available for each method of the various system geometries. Descriptions of twisting moments are provided theoretically and visually in the guide, and six methods of accounting for twisting moments in design are discussed. Applicability of the various methods is evaluated through a comparison of designs resulting from each method for a variety of two-way slab types and geometries. The theories described in the guide also apply to the design of two-way wall and two-way dome systems.

10 years ago on "24-Dec-2008" Civil Engineering Association (CivilEA Forum) was born. Before this date, originally we start our works with "4downloader.blogspot.com" weblog on "12-April-2007".
Last year we opened CivilEA shop, it is great change in forum and we will here more about it later.
We are trying to open CivilEA Virtual School at this year, we want to start online education at CivilEA.
We are contracting with new developer manager to doing technical issue on site.
I want to repeat again, we are nothing without you, CivilEA will be bigger if you want. Any community or company will be grow behind their fans. We are only the provider of a virtual community for you, and you are the main column of this website.
I want to say thanks gain to all users that support us to be live. special thanks to our moderating team that works 7/24 hours on CivilEA, they spend valuable time here free to help others.It is very difficult to organize big forum like CivilEA and our moderators do it excellent.
Love you: Dell_Brett oanm2000 usman 3fan amindoxiti lisine rami1976
My special thanks to my Deputy "BennyP" that help CIvilEA for more than 9 years, Thank you dear BennyP;
I thanks to all users that contribute their knowledge here.
CivilEA is standing on first level of all Civil Engineering website all around the world. Anyway quantity is not important and our main concern is quality. We are happy to say that CivilEA is #1 in quality too.

Author(s)/Editor(s): merican Welding Society (AWS) B1 Committee on Methods of Inspection | Size: 3.87 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: AWS | Year: 2009 | pages: 61
The Guide for the Nondestructive Inspection of Welds was first prepared by the AWS B1 Committee on Methods of Inspection in 1977. The next edition was published in 1986, with updates to current industry practices. The 1999 and this current edition incorporate an overall edit and improvements to the figures.
The purpose of this guide is to give the reader an overview of the more common examination methods available without unnecessary detail and to provide an aid in deciding which method is generally best suited for the examination of a given weld.
The words examination, evaluation, inspection, and testing are considered synonymous when describing various non-destructive examination methods.
This guide has been prepared by the AWS B1 Committee on Methods of Inspection to serve as a simple but reliable source of general information. It is not intended that this document provide complete and comprehensive coverage of the subject. There are many reference manuals available. For more comprehensive coverage of the activities of the welding inspector, this guide should be used in conjunction with the AWS Welding Inspection Handbook, which provides a more thorough description of the duties and responsibilities of welding inspectors, the techniques and characteristics of the usual nondestructive examination methods, and the major aspects of sampling and documentation required for an adequate quality control system. For other references on the subject of inspection, refer also to the technical documents suggested in Clause 2, Normative References, and Annex E, Informative References. Annex A summarizes the required equipment, applications, advantages, and limitations of each of the seven examination methods covered in the document. Annex B is adapted from Part C—Nondestructive Examination Symbols of AWS A2.4:2007, Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination. Annex C provides a list of typical application standards and the addresses of the standards developers. Annex D provides guidelines for making inquires to AWS committees. Comments and suggestions for the improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to the Secretary,AWS B1 Committee on Methods of Inspection, American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126.

New technologies play an increasingly important role in the analysis, monitoring, restoration, and preservation of historic structures. These technological systems continue to get more advanced and complex, for example: 3D digital construction and documentation programming, 3D imaging data (including laser scanning and photogrammetry), multispectral and thermographic imaging, geophysical data, etc. This book will present the latest nondestructive technologies used in the characterization, preservation, and structural health monitoring of historic buildings. It will include numerous case studies, as well as theoretical explanations about each of the methods and technologies used in each.
