1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Slender, elegant and graceful, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge stretched like a steel ribbon across Puget Sound in 1940. The third longest suspension span in the world opened on July 1st. Only four months later, the great span's short life ended in disaster. "Galloping Gertie," collapsed in a windstorm on November 7,1940.
The bridge became famous as "the most dramatic failure in bridge engineering history." Now, it's also "one of the world's largest man-made reefs." The sunken remains of Galloping Gertie were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 to protect her from salvagers.
A dramatic tale of failure and success
The story of the failure of the 1940 Narrows Bridge and the success of the Current Narrows Bridge is a great American saga. When Galloping Gertie splashed into Puget Sound, it created ripple effects across the nation and around the world. The event changed forever how engineers design suspension bridges. Gertie's failure led to the safer suspension spans we use today.

The problem is this ---- "Error: DET<0" in the 1 phase
the answer from faq on plaxis site is
=====This error in iterative solver can be caused by:
*1- Not enough memory (or too many elements for the current memory)
* 2- Badly shaped elements: good elements are those with the same size for width, length and height of the element.
*3- Large stiffness differences in your model (e.g. a difference ratio > 1E6). This also includes the use of structures (beams, walls)
So please check your mesh (both 2D and 3D) in detail, and check if you use large stiffness differences in the used materials. Sometimes a hint is given by the program: if you e.g. activate a plate in phase 4, and this phase shows the error, it is likely that the used stiffness for the plate is too high for the numerical model.======
for *1 i have 4gb ram
for *2 all the piles have the same size
for *3----well this is the problem...i do not fully understant want they want to say.......i use this pb for about 2 weeks so i am new at this......
maybe someone can help me with an answer or to resolve the problem
i have atached the work files
thank you in advance

hi anyone could upload revit extensions 2011 that works perfectly with windows 7 although it install no problem in other features of the extensions but RS2011 going to ASD 2011 the extension does not detect ASD2011 or if the problem was in ASD 2011 could somebody advice me what to do to fix the issue regards on the compatibility of ASD 2011 in windows 7

The use of GIS, and its application for solving environmental problems is growing rapidly. This powerful set of tools can be used to great effect in hydrological modeling, environment and habitat assessments, ecosystem studies, monitoring of wetlands and forested watersheds, urban studies, agricultural impact assessment and much more. GIS for Watershed and Water Resource Management explains the fundamentals, demonstrates new approaches, techniques and methods, and provides examples of real applications. It presents the basic concepts, and shows how to acquire the critical information needed to plan and implement GIS studies, and develop practical solutions for environmental management and problem solving.
