Spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of seismic loading analysis for buildings and various nonbuilding structures, as well as architectural, mechanical, and electrical components per the IBC 2003 and ASCE 7-02 Codes.
Specifically, the total base seismic shear for buildings and nonbuilding structures is calculated. For Multi-Level Buildings, the vertical distribution of the total seismic shear is also determined, and a drift analysis can also be performed.. The seismic restraint force for various components is also calculated.
- Seismic base shear for single-level buildings
- Seismic base shear and vertical shear distribution for multi-level buildings
- Seismic story drift analysis for multi-level buildings
- Seismic base shear and overturning moment for vertical tanks and vessels
- Seismic base shear and overturning moment for nonbuilding structures
- Seismic force for architectural components
- Seismic force for mechanical and electrical components
- 1996 NEHRP (USGS) maps for 0.2 sec. spectral acceleration with 2% P.E.
- 1996 NEHRP (USGS) maps for 1.0 sec. spectral acceleration with 2% P.E.

Section Properties for Builtup and Unsymmetrical Sections
Spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of calculating section properties.
Two methods of input data are provided, either by adding of deleting "shapes" or by defining a polygon by a series of "points". Specifically, the centroid location and total area are determined, as well as the centroidal and principal axes moments of inertia, radii of gyration, and rotation angle.
- Section properties analysis using shapes to model section
- Section properties analysis using up to 50 points to model section
- Stress analysis for symmetric and unsymmetric sections

NEES is envisioned as a new paradigm for earthquake engineering research. To take advantage of NEES’s unique capabilities, NSF requested the assistance of the National Research Council (NRC) in developing a long-term research agenda. The purpose of the NRC effort was both to develop a process for identifying research needs and to consult stakeholders in framing the important questions to be addressed through NEES. The long-term research agenda will guide the next generation of earthquake engineering research and shape the conduct of a program of great national and international importance.

Does anyone have a copy of the following book:
Design of Modern Highway Bridges
Author :Narendra Taly
Hardcover: 1368 pages
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies (May 1, 1997)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0070629978
ISBN-13: 978-0070629974
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Geographic Information Science, GIScience 2010, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in September 2010. The 22 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 87 submissions. While traditional research topics such as spatio-temporal representations, spatial relations, interoperability, geographic databases, cartographic generalization, geographic visualization, navigation, spatial cognition, are alive and well in GIScience, research on how to handle massive and rapidly growing databases of dynamic space-time phenomena at fine-grained resolution for example, generated through sensor networks, has clearly emerged as a new and popular research frontier in the field.

Hi CivilEAns,
I have recently been following the threads within the Forum relating to Tekla Structures and they have really attracted my attention. It seems so interesting!!!
I have been using Masterseries (BS/EN) basically for simple analysis checks (I have to agree that i don't easily go about its modeling environment and procedure most especially when i compare it to the CSI products-which seem simpler and intuitive), a one disadvantage to me.
So this is how i go about it, very taxing!
1) I model and analyze in ETABS or SAP2000
2) For concrete, i proceed with spreadsheets for design, but the detailing becomes a hustle!!!( as in i go manual).
3) For steel, i proceed to MasterSeries with all the efforts and design/check the connections.
When i read the Tekla threads, this program seems to be a one stop for all this!!!
Please, those with experience/info regarding the two products please throw more light on the advantages of one program over the other, say in regard to Analysis and design of Concrete, Steel and, (Simple and Moment steel connections)
I would like to know which of the two programs is nearly a one stop shop!!
