Book Description:
This key text is written for senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students. It delivers a complete introduction to finite element methods and to automatic adaptation (error estimation) that will enable students to understand and use FEA as a true engineering tool. It has been specifically developed to be accessible to non-mathematics students and pres the only complete text for FEA with error estimators for non-mathematicians. Error estimation is taught on nearly half of all FEM courses for engineers at senior undergraduate and postgraduate level; no other existing textbook for this market covers this topic.
* The only introductory FEA text with error estimation for students of engineering, scientific computing and applied mathematics
* Includes source code for creating and proving FEA error estimators
* Complete with homework exercises and supporting website with instructor's solutions manual

This revision of design manual has been prepared to account for the changes of ZAMIL STEEL standards
during the last four years since 1999 regarding single skin & Tempcon panels, built-up sections standard
dimensions, serviceability consideration and some standard connections, also this revision of design
manual presents the results of special technical studies carried out in the ZAMIL STEEL PRD department
including finite element studies using most recent software techniques, buckling analysis studies and also
derived formulas using numerical correlation studies. Designers can make use of these studies to enhance
the design process.
This revision of the design manual also resolves some miscellaneous and confusing points that were
reported to PRD department.
The contents of this manual were rearranged and presented in “Adobe Acrobat” format along with
navigation pane to ensure effective and fast use of this manual.
Design/Quote engineers are strongly advised to read this manual as a whole in conjunction with the
standard codes and manuals stated in clause 2.1 page 2-1 of this manual.

Reducing Earthquake Losses
Roger C. Herdman,
U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment | ISBN: 0160482674 | 1995 | PDF | 172 pages | 5 Mb
Earthquakes have caused massive death and destruction, and potentially damaging earthquakes are certain to occur in the future. Although earthquakes are uncontrollable, the losses they cause can be reduced by building structures that resist earthquake damage, matching land use to risk, developing emergency response plans, and other means. Since 1977, the federal government has had a research oriented program to reduce earthquake losses the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). This program has made significant contributions toward improving our understanding of earthquakes and strategies to reduce their impact. Implementing action based on this understanding, however, has been quite difficult. This chapter provides an introduction to earthquakes: a sum mary of the earthquake hazard across the United States, a review of the types of losses earthquakes cause, a discussion of why earthquakes are a congressional concern, and an introduction to mitigation actions taken prior to earthquakes that can reduce losses when they occur. The federal policy response to date, NEHRP is then described and reviewed. Finally, specific policy options for improving federal efforts to reduce future earthquake losses are presented.

I suggest there should be a separate thread on "green" engineering. Specifically Wind and Solar engineering, and other Special structures or materials with applications to (the future technologies for) civil engineering. this is the knowledge everyone should be acquainted.
I am very confuse regarding the use of softwares for pile designs. People in India uses Indian Code IS 2911 but gives to much conservative results. I have tried to use ALLPILE but through this forum only i realize that it may be wrong to compare... some other programs are also avilable in this forum like MPILE, SHAFT etc but how reliable the design from softwares... output from each is not maching as the methdology may be different but then which to use.. I didnt claim that i am expert in geotechnical but can be considered at good but some of my friends can express their views on this...
Rethinking IT in Construction and Engineering: Organisational Readiness
Rethinking IT in Construction and Engineering: Organisational Readiness
Publisher: Taylor & Francis | pages: 288 | 2007 | ISBN: 0415430534 | CHM | 11,3 mb
How could the potential of IT be realised to improve business performance in architecture, construction and engineering organisations? How could organisations unleash the potential of IT to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage? How can organisations migrate from technology to IT-enabled business thinking? Based on the author's twenty years research experience, this book provides a holistic picture of the factors that enable architecture, construction and engineering organisations to explore the potential of IT to improve their businesses and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. It raises awareness of the importance of the organisational 'soft issues' and the role they play in influencing the outcome of IT investments as well as addressing other complementary enablers, such as knowledge management, learning organisations, maturity models and e-readiness measurements.

Eigenvalues of Inhomogeneous Structures: Unusual Closed-Form Solutions offers the first new treatment of closed-form solutions since the works of Leonhard Euler over two centuries ago. This work offers simple solutions for vibrating bars, beams, and plates, as well as solutions that can be used to verify finite element solutions. Mechanical, aerospace, civil, and marine engineers will find this to be the most comprehensive book on the subject. In addition, senior undergraduate and graduate students and professors will find this to be a good supplement to other structural design texts, as it can be easily incorporated into the classroom.
