Structural Geology - An Introduction to Geometrical Techniques
Donal M. Ragan, "Structural Geology: An Introduction to Geometrical Techniques"
624 pages | Cambridge University Press | 2009 | ISBN: 0521897580, 0521745837 | PDF | 6.2 Mb
This combination of text and lab book presents an entirely different approach to structural geology. Designed for undergraduate laboratory classes, it provides a step-by-step guide for solving geometric problems arising from structural field observations. The book discusses both traditional methods and cutting-edge approaches, with emphasis given to graphical methods and visualization techniques that support students in tackling challenging two- and three-dimensional problems. Numerous exercises encourage practice in using the techniques, and demonstrate how field observations can be converted into useful information about geological structures and the processes responsible for creating them. This updated fourth edition incorporates new material on stress, deformation, strain and flow, and the underlying mathematics of the subject. With stereonet plots and solutions to the exercises available online at ragan, this book is a key resource for undergraduates, advanced students and researchers wanting to improve their practical skills in structural geology.

Hello friends,
I am asking for your help, as i would like to learn how to perform a pushover analysis in Etabs (let's say on a simple metal structure, and on a RC frame structure).
Please if someone could post a .pdf with the steps,or an example, i would be very very grateful.
It appears that the solution of N/A for Zone 5 eccentricity case as explained in SS Ray Textbook does not yield the correct resultant. Has anybody gone thru this by hand to recover resultant and eccentrities for comparison with the original loading?
Thks

Product Description
While numerous books have been written on earthquakes, earthquake resistance design, and seismic analysis and design of structures, none have been tailored for advanced students and practitioners, and those who would like to have most of the important aspects of seismic analysis in one place. With this book, readers will gain proficiencies in the following: fundamentals of seismology that all structural engineers must know; various forms of seismic inputs; different types of seismic analysis like, time and frequency domain analyses, spectral analysis of structures for random ground motion, response spectrum method of analysis; equivalent lateral load analysis as given in earthquake codes; inelastic response analysis and the concept of ductility; ground response analysis and seismic soil structure interaction; seismic reliability analysis of structures; and control of seismic response of structures.
* Provides comprehensive coverage, from seismology to seismic control
* Contains useful empirical equations often required in the seismic analysis of structures
* Outlines explicit steps for seismic analysis of MDOF systems with multi support excitations
* Works through solved problems to illustrate different concepts
* Makes use of MATLAB, SAP2000 and ABAQUAS in solving example problems of the book
* Provides numerous exercise problems to aid understanding of the subject
As one of the first books to present such a comprehensive treatment of the topic, Seismic Analysis of Structures is ideal for postgraduates and researchers in Earthquake Engineering, Structural Dynamics, and Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. Developed for classroom use, the book can also be used for advanced undergraduate students planning for a career or further study in the subject area. The book will also better equip structural engineering consultants and practicing engineers in the use of standard software for seismic analysis of buildings, bridges, dams, and towers.

hi
deear Engineers
i'm working on a offshore project.
and looking for Latest version of API RP2L Code.
It's About design Helideck for ffshore structures.
i realy realy Neeeeeeeeeeeeed it.
This text provides a thorough explanation of the underlying principles of spectral analysis and the full range of estimation techniques used in engineering. The applications of these techniques are demonstrated in numerous case studies, illustrating the approach required and the compromises to be made when solving real engineering problems. The principles outlined in these case studies are applicable over the full range of engineering disciplines and all the reader requires is an understanding of elementary calculus and basic statistics.
The realistic approach and comprehensive nature of this text will provide undergraduate engineers and physicists of all disciplines with an invaluable introduction to the subject and the detailed case studies will interest the experienced professional.
No more than a knowledge of elementary calculus, and basic statistics and probability is needed
Accessible to undergraduates at any stage of their courses
Easy and clear to follow

Groundwater Geophysics: A Tool for Hydrogeology By Groundwater Geophysics
Groundwater Geophysics: A Tool for Hydrogeology By Groundwater Geophysics
Publisher: Springer 2008 | 548 Pages | ISBN: 3540884041 | PDF | 38 MB
Geophysical techniques can map the underground conditions apart from boreholes. The use of these methods for hydrogeological applications is demonstrated for mapping of porous and structural aquifers, determination of groundwater quality (mineralization), assessment of hydraulic properties, determination of aquifer vulnerability and mapping of contaminated sites. Additionally, a description of geophysical techniques used for groundwater studies is given including seismics, resistivity methods, magnetics, ground penetrating radar and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance).
In this second edition new chapters on RMT (radio magnetotelluric) and on the determination of groundwater flow in monitoring wells are included.
