Product Description:
This volume of selected papers by Professor A W Skempton is published to mark his 70th birthday on 4th June 1984.
In making the selection of papers we aimed to show Skempton's breadth of interest and achievement int he general field of mechanics and to include papers that the practising engineer, research worker and student will find of value to have at hand. For the early papers the selection was influenced by a historical interest in addition to intrinsic merit.

ISO 6707-1 - Building and civil engineering -- Vocabulary -- Part 1: General terms
ISO 6707-1:2004 defines general terms to establish a vocabulary applicable to building and civil engineering. It comprises fundamental concepts, which may be the starting point for other, more specific, definitions, as well as more specific concepts used in several areas of construction and frequently used in standards, regulations and contracts.
AND
ISO 6707-2 - Building and civil engineering -- Vocabulary -- Part 2: Contract terms
Defines 179 terms in English and French arranged in alphabetical order in English within the following eight categories: general concepts, project information, design phase, contracts, financial, construction, post-construction maintenance, persons involved.
If someone can help me getting this it would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Dear all,
I am looking for videos/lectures/ebooks which are related to offshore engineering. For your information, offshore engineering includes offshore structural (fixed or floating types), subsea pipelines/flowlines, subsea systems (PLET, PLEM, ITA, UTA, manifolds, wet trees, etc), and deepwater risers. You might to share any information about offshore field development of petroleum activity as well. Please feel free to share your documentation as the requested. Thank you.
I analyzed and designed the model but the steel requirement is less in only one column. So if some one can tell me what is wrong with my model I would be greatly obliged.
The model is attached

Active Control of Vibration
Publisher: Academic Press | ISBN: 0122694406 | edition 1996 | PDF | 332 pages | 16,7 mb
This book is a companion text to Active Control of Sound by P.A. Nelson and S.J. Elliott, also published by Academic Press. It summarizes the principles underlying active vibration control and its practical applications by combining material from vibrations, mechanics, signal processing, acoustics, and control theory. The emphasis of the book is on the active control of waves in structures, the active isolation of vibrations, the use of distributed strain actuators and sensors, and the active control of structurally radiated sound. The feedforward control of deterministic disturbances, the active control of structural waves and the active isolation of vibrations are covered in detail, as well as the more conventional work on modal feedback.

An Introduction to Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis
This document explains the calculations involved in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA), and the motivation for using this approach in combining many models and data sources to create a quantification of the possibility of intense ground shaking at a site. This document is made by Prof. J.W. Baker from Stanford Univ.. It could act perfectly as a good intro before digesting the following PSHA's books:
- McGuire, R. K. (2004). Seismic Hazard and Risk Analysis, Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, Berkeley.
- Kramer, S. L. (1996). Geotechnical earthquake engineering, Chapter 4, Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, N.J.
- Reiter, L. (1990). Earthquake hazard analysis: issues and insights, Columbia University Press, New York.
----- These all reveal the black-box of the PSHA program (e.g. EZ-FRISK).

I would like to introduce the necessity of mentioning the access date of the links, we are providing with our threads in the forum. Since I have joined in this great forum, I am observing that many of our members are mentioning, these links are dead, those are not working etc. etc. But the truth is those links were working at the time it was published in this forum. It is proved because some of our members got help from those links and hit the THANKS already.
As time passes, it may not working due to sevaral reasons such as removal of files by uploader, or complaint received by the uploading agency etc. etc. So, if anybody tells those links are not working for the former post, it does bother ther person who is the first uploader of that file.
Thus, I wanna suggest to mention the access date of links during when we are uploading the files in the forum threads. I would like to request our moderators and members to think of this issue. I hope it will work, if we include in our forum rules during publishing of threads.
Complementary Approaches for Using Ecotoxicity Data in Soil Pollution Evaluation
M. D. Fernandez, J. V. Tarazona - Complementary Approaches for Using Ecotoxicity Data in Soil Pollution Evaluation
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers | 2008-11 | ISBN: 1606921053 | PDF | 81 pages | 5.32 MB
The assessment of soil quality has usually focused on human health protection as the main objective. Recently, criteria for the protection of ecosystems have been incorporated and ecotoxicological analyses are recommended to estimate the risk to ecological receptors associated with contaminants in soils (Calow, 1993; Stephenson et al., 2002; Loibner et al., 2003; Robidoux et al., 2004b). The ecotoxicological assessment of soils is mostly based on the toxicity test with selected organisms. Two complementary approaches are available. The first approach consists in the identification of toxicity thresholds for each relevant pollutant, thresholds that are based on the evaluation of effects of chemical substances on selected organisms representing relevant ecological receptors. The results of these assays are used for setting soil quality standards for each pollutant or pollutant class.Risk assessment tools can be used for this purpose, pre-establishing acceptable levels of risk. The contamination level is based on the comparison of the concentration of contaminants measured in the soil with the standards established from the thresholds. Although field and semi-field information can be incorporated in the higher tier steps, the thresholds are mostly developed from standardised toxicity assays conducted under laboratory conditions following international (e.g. OECD, ISO) or national (e.g. USEPA, ASTM) guidelines. In the second approach, toxicity assays are performed directly with the contaminated media (soil, water, sediment). This alternative, performing the assays with environmental samples, constitutes the method called direct (eco)toxicity assessment (DTA), and is based on modified bioassays.Most regulations have developed soil quality standards based on toxicity assays. However, due to the limitations in the lab to field extrapolation, trends were directed towards the combination of chemical analysis and DTA (Peterson et al., 1990; Torstensson, 1993; Torslov et al., 1997). In this book, both alternatives will be compared. The main difference between both approaches is that in the first case, a reference 'uncontaminated' soil sample is spiked with one or a few chemicals at different concentrations, while in the DTA approach real soil samples are collected at the contaminated site, therefore containing a realistic combination of the different pollutants present in the area, the field sample can be then tested and/or 'diluted' with 'uncontaminated' soil to create a pollution gradient.The toxicity of the spiked or collected/diluted samples is measured and concentration/response relationships obtained in both cases. To understand better this comparison, in this book the term 'toxicity test' will be used for the first approach: toxicity tests with samples spiked at the lab; while the term 'bioassay' will be used for the DTA approach: samples collected at the field.
