Can anybody please explain me the exact distinction between Rigid and flexible diaphragms. For concerte floor slabs we designate rigid diaphragm, how correct is the assumption? What will be the impacts if the same is designated as a flexible diaphragm .
Eurocode 8 Perspectives from the Italian Standpoint Workshop
The ReLUIS website is online since 2005 as the website of the 2005-2008 ReLUIS-Italian Civil Protection research program and has received hundreds of thousands of visits since then, more than ninety thousands only since the day after the recent L’Aquila earthquake in April 2009. This significant interest of the community for the information and data available raised the issue of upgrading the website to accommodate the needs of a vast audience who wants to access the knowledge base developed and conveyed by ReLUIS starting a transition from a research program website to an internet portal for earthquake engineering. Therefore this new site has been conceived and built, it features many improvements and innovations as an unique registration to access all downloadable contents, a multimedia section, and a generally easier navigation within a structure as much as possible similar to that of the old website. Clearly a short time is required for everything to go smooth, and therefore the visitor is kindly asked to contribute to the development of the website pointing out any malfunctioning or simply commenting it. Finally, we hope and believe to have made a step further for www.reluis.it to became a reference for the national earthquake engineering community and an interlocutor at international level on earthquake engineering matters.

Planning and Design of Engineering Systems
Graeme Dandy,
Taylor & Francis | 2007 | ISBN: 0415405513 | 336 pages | PDF | 3,5 MB
Providing students with a commonsense approach to the solution of engineering problems and packed full of practical case studies to illustrate the role of the engineer, the type of work involved and the methodologies employed in engineering practice, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the scope and nature of engineering. It outlines a conceptual framework for undertaking engineering projects then provides a range of techniques and tools for solving the sorts of problems that commonly arise. Focusing in particular on civil engineering design and problem solving and the range of techniques and tools it employs, the authors also explore: creativity and problem solving, social and environmental issues, management, communications and law and ethics the planning, design, modelling and analysis phases and the implementation or construction phase. Designed specifically for introductory courses on undergraduate engineering programs, this extensively revised and extended new edition is an invaluable resource for all new engineering undergraduates as well as non-specialist readers who are seeking information on the nature of engineering work and how it is carried out.

Practical Hydraulics,2 ed
Melvyn Kay,
Taylor & Francis | 2008 | ISBN: 0415351146 | 253 pages | PDF | 4,7 MB
Hydraulics has a reputation for being a complex, even intimidating, discipline. Put simply, hydraulics is the study of how water and similar fluids behave and can be harnessed for practical use. It is one of the fundamental scientific and engineering subjects and many professions demand a working knowledge of its basic concepts, yet most hydraulics textbooks are aimed at readers with a strong engineering or mathematical background. "Practical Hydraulics" approaches the subject from basic principles and demonstrates how these are applied in practice. It is clearly written and includes many illustrations and examples. It will appeal to a wide range of professionals and students needing an introduction to the subject, from farmers irrigating crops to fire crews putting out fires with high-pressure water hoses. However hydraulics is not just about water. Many other fluids behave in the same way and so affect a wide range of people from doctors, needing to know how blood flows in veins, to car designers, wanting to save fuel by reducing drag.

Innovations in Bridge Engineering Technology
Khaled M. Mahmoud,
Taylor & Francis | 2007 | ISBN: 0415453372 | 287 pages | PDF | 6,1 MB
In the last few years, remarkable technological advances have been achieved in bridge engineering technology. These cover a wide spectrum of issues, ranging from design, maintenance, and rehabilitation methodologies to material and monitoring innovations. The Fourth New York City Bridge Conference was distinguished for its global impact. This book contains a selected number of papers that were presented at the conference. These papers are valuable contributions to the body of knowledge in bridge engineering technology. Along with the contributions by prominent bridge engineering professionals from the United States, this excellent collection of papers will assure the archival quality of this book.

I upload this software because I read in forum that its infected but even that the patch from "Under SEH Team" didnt work for me, so I decide to Fix it and share here.
I have suggestion that we open at the bottom of main window of the forum (just bellow "Various forum") new section called something like: "Old, worthless, spam and junk posts" or "Unvaluabel, old, not replyed posts" or something like that - you can think maybe better name for this section of the forum...
I'm suggesting this because I saw this section on other forums and I think it is good to have this kind of section here as well. Staff of these other forums sending there posts like "Thank you", "Wow" or posts with expired links, insulting posts,... all in all this section of the forum has a function of "Recycle Bin". After some time - this section is cleaned completely... and we all have clean forum.
Again, that's only my suggestion/ opinion.
Best regards and I thank you for your understanding
G
p.s. Today I've seen thread with posted link that is not working and with 5 replyes like: "can upload again, plz " . Thread is closed and I don't see it's purpose.
