This is a wellknown article in performance-based earthquake engineering which is authored by Dr. Vamvatsikos and the late Prof. Cornell.
Dimitrios Vamvatsikos and C. Allin Cornell (2002). Incremental dynamic analysis, Earthquake Engineering Structural Dynamics; 31:491–514.
Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a parametric analysis method that has recently emerged in several different forms to estimate more thoroughly structural performance under seismic loads. It involves subjecting a structural model to one (or more) ground motion record(s), each scaled to multiple levels of intensity, thus producing one (or more) curve(s) of response parameterized versus intensity level.

FOR FLEXIBLE WALL SYSTEMS
Publisher: NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Pages: 54
Date: APRIL 2007
The purpose of thus document is to provide an acceptable design method and theory for the geoteclllnical design of flexible cantilevered or anchored retaining walls to be constructed on New York State Department of Transportation projects.
The following text provides a general discussion and design guidelines for these flexible wall systems. This document provides any designer with a framework for progressing a design and an understanding of the criteria which can be used during a geoteclunical review. All structural aspects of these wall systems shall be performed in accordance with the Department's accepted procedures.

Foreword
Cable-stayed bridges have become the form of choice over the past several decades for bridges in the medium- to long-span range. In some cases, serviceability problems involving large amplitude vibrations of stay cables under certain wind and rain conditions have been observed. This study was conducted to develop a set of consistent design guidelines for mitigation of excessive cable vibrations on cable-stayed bridges. The project team started with a thorough review of existing literature; this review indicated that while the rain/wind problem is known in sufficient detail, galloping of dry inclined cables was
the most critical wind-induced vibration mechanism in need of further experimental research. A series of wind tunnel tests was performed to study this mechanism. Analytical and experimental research was performed to study mitigation methods, covering a range of linear and nonlinear dampers and crossties. The study also included brief studies on live load-induced vibrations and establishing driver/pedestrian comfort criteria. Based on the above, design guidelines for the mitigation of wind-induced vibrations of stay cables were developed. As a precautionary note, the state of the art in stay cable vibration mitigation is not an exact science. These new guidelines are only intended for use by professionals with experience in cable-stayed bridge design, analysis, and wind engineering, and should only be applied with engineering judgment and due consideration of special conditions surrounding each project.

HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES:
A CHALLENGE TO ENGINEERS AND RESEARCHERS
AUTHORS: Jorge MATOS and Hubert CHANSON
Published by the Division of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland
Pages: 221
ISBN No. 1864998687
Year: 2006
FOREWORD by Jorge Matos and Hubert Chanson:
Following the idea and concept of the European Junior Scientist Workshops of the IWA/IAHR Joint Committee on Urban Drainage, the IAHR Hydraulic Structures Section, jointly with the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) and the Portuguese Water Resources Association (APRH), organised the International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures (IJREWHS'06). The International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures (IJREWHS'06) was held at Hotel da Ameira, Montemor-o-Novo, on 2-4 September 2006. A half-day technical tour included the visit to some relevant hydraulic schemes in Alentejo region, namely the Alqueva and Pedrógão dams on the Guadiana River (Photographs No. 1 and 2). The IJREWHS'06 workshop addressed conventional and innovative aspects of hydraulic structures design, operation, rehabilitation, and interaction with the environment. The main themes of the workshop embraced the hydraulics of dams and hydropower schemes, river structures, hydraulic structures in urban drainage and sewer systems, as well as coastal protection systems.
