Because the Engineering Mistakes thread is closed I post it here.
A footbridge under construction near the Commonwealth Games main stadium in India's capital New Delhi has collapsed, injuring at least 23 people, five of them seriously, throwing further doubt on the viability of next month's multi-nation games.
The five seriously injured people were taken to hospitals, police said.
Media reports said all of the victims were construction workers.

Info:
The 100-metre overhead bridge was to connect a parking lot with the main Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, which is to host opening and closing ceremonies as well as showpiece athletic events for the October 3-14 games.
An AFP reporter at the scene said police had sealed off the area and heavy lifting equipment had begun shifting sections of the footbridge which had fallen down onto the car park tarmac below.
A giant steel arch over the bridge was still standing, but load-bearing metal cables that had previously held up the overpass had snapped and could be seen dangling in the air.
"The cementing of the footbridge was being done in the morning," chief secretary of Delhi Rakesh Mehta told CNN-IBN television. "The engineers are looking into the cause of the accident."
Severe delays in the completion of the athletes' village have thrown the sporting event into jeopardy.
The collapse came as the Commonwealth Games Federation went public with complaints about the athletes' village, which was described as "filthy", "uninhabitable" and "not fit for humans" by participants and officials.

Meanwhile I searched for informations I've found this bridge-collapse from Delhi too Delhi Metro bridge collapse, 12 July 2009:
hi !!
dear, administer team !!
can u open a new forum name as " part time job opportunity " so that student or any interested person ( structural designer ) can get a job assignment from our forum employer user. its a beneficial to both of them
thnax !!!
have a nice day!!
The new edition of Garber and Hoel's best-selling text focuses on giving students insight into all facets of traffic and highway engineering. Students generally come to this course with little knowledge or understanding of the importance of transportation, much less of the extensive career opportunities within the field. Transportation is an extremely broad field, and courses must either cover all transportation modes or focus on specifics. While many topics can be covered with a survey approach, this often lacks sufficient depth and students leave the course without a full understanding of any of the fields. This text focuses exclusively on traffic and highway engineering beginning with a discussion of the pivotal role transportation plays in our society, including employment opportunities, historical impact, and the impact of transportation on our daily lives. This approach gives students a sense of what the field is about as well as an opportunity to consider some of its challenges. Later chapters focus on specific issues facing transportation engineers. The text uses pedagogical tools such as worked problems, diagrams and tables, reference material, and realistic examples to demonstrate how the material is applied.
If anyone could provide me this book rather US customary or SI it will help me too much

This military handbook replaces the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM) design manual, DM-7.3. It contains material pertaining to soil dynamics, earthquake engineering, and special design aspects of geotechnical engineering. The soil dynamics section of this handbook deals with basic dynamic properties of soils, machine foundations, dynamic and vibratory compaction, and pile driving response. The earthquake engineering section deals with earthquake response spectra, site seismicity, design earthquake, seismic loads on structures, liquefaction, and base isolation. The special design aspects section deals with seismic design of anchored sheet pile walls, stone column and displacement piles, and dynamic slope stability and deformation. This military handbook is to be used by geotechnical engineers, working for the Department of Defense
(DOD), for guidance in designing military facilities.

The IMSL Numerical Libraries have been the cornerstone of high-performance and desktop computing applications in science, technical and business environments for well over three decades. These embeddable mathematical and statistical algorithms are used in a broad range of applications -- including programs that help airplanes fly, predict the weather, enable innovative study of the human genome, predict stock market behavior and provide risk management and portfolio optimization. The algorithms embody the combination of High Performance Computing and High Productivity Computing. Significant benefits can be realized with the product’s ability to accelerate development time, reduce coding hassle, improve quality, and reduce development costs.
Embeddable Mathematical and Statistical Functionality
The IMSL Libraries are a comprehensive set of mathematical and statistical functions that programmers can embed into their software applications. The libraries save development time by providing pre-written mathematical and statistical algorithms that can be embedded into C, C# for .NET, Java™ and Fortran applications, enhancing return on investment and programmer productivity. The IMSL Libraries can also be used from Python using PyIMSL Studio or the PyIMSL wrappers. Beyond choice of programming language, the IMSL Libraries are supported across a wide range of hardware and operating system environments including Windows, Linux, Apple and many UNIX platforms.
The IMSL Libraries and support services emphasize user productivity and cost-effectiveness providing a significant return on investment by saving up to 95% of the time and cost of developing numerical algorithms.
