Earthquake Spectra - February 2010 Volume 26 Issue 1 pp. 1-310
Earthquake Spectra, the professional journal of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI),
is published quarterly in both printed and online editions in February, May, August, and November.
The printed edition is sent to EERI members as part of their membership benefits.
EERI established Earthquake Spectra with the purpose of improving the practice of earthquake hazards mitigation, preparedness, and recovery.
It is intended to serve the informational needs of the diverse professionals engaged in
earthquake loss reduction: civil, geotechnical, mechanical, and structural engineers; geologists, seismologists,
and other earth scientists; architects and city planners; public officials; social scientists; and researchers in all these disciplines.
Spectra serves as the publication of record for the development of earthquake engineering practice, earthquake codes and regulations,
earthquake public policy, and earthquake investigation reports. Manuscripts published in Earthquake Spectra are peer reviewed.
Periodically, EERI publishes special issues of Earthquake Spectra, either as theme issues or as reconnaissance reports on major earthquakes.

Hi All,
I thought would it be good if we create a group in facebook so Civilea would get famous and more exposure. So that more people can find it useful in turn they could contribute back. I want permission from Creator,moderators and members to do, so that there wont be any conflicts later. Comments on this??
Essential tips for independent
contractors and consultants
As a consultant, you face the challenges of meeting clients’ needs, soliciting new business, keeping your
skill sets current, and many other daily activities. It’s not easy, and some days it probably seems
overwhelming.
To help you along, we’ve compiled a group of articles written by Meredith Little, a frequent contributor to
TechRepublic. She works as a self-employed technical writer, documentation specialist, trainer, and
business analyst. We think you’ll agree she’s well qualified to address issues facing IT pros who work
independently.
If you’re just beginning to explore the notion of becoming an independent contractor, the first article in
this series will help you determine whether you have what it takes. Next, Meredith explains what
separates consulting and contracting, and offers tips on deciding how to classify yourself. Finally, a threepart
series on protecting your own interests in your contracts presents pointers on ensuring that you
never get burned again.

Summary:
Humans do one thing better than other species: we build things. For millennia, people have altered the landscape to create awe-inspiring architectural and engineering wonders that rival the most impressive structures created by nature. Cities built temples to worship their gods; kings sponsored structures to glorify their reigns; nations constructed sophisticated systems of canals and roadways to expand their economic influence; architects designed novel buildings to house an ever-growing population.
In only one book can you find them all. The Encyclopedia of Architectural and Engineering Feats presents over 200 achievements in architecture and structural engineering in all the inhabited continents from prehistory to the present. A structure is included because of the importance of its technological advance, its refinement of existing systems, or its social and economic significance.

Product Description
This book describes the application of nonlinear static and dynamic analysis for the design, maintenance and seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. The latest structural and RC constitutive modeling techniques are described in detail, with particular attention given to multi-dimensional cracking and damage assessment, and their practical applications for performance-based design. Other subjects covered include 2D/3D analysis techniques, bond and tension stiffness, shear transfer, compression and confinement.
Nonlinear Mechanics of Reinforced Concrete presents a practical methodology for structural engineers, graduate students and researchers concerned with the design and maintenance of concrete structures
