The Design Manual of Civil Works, since its first edition in 1969, by technological knowledge and experience the fruit of the hard work of engineers and Experts from the Commission Federal de Electricidad, and Mexican researchers
universities and research centers, arising from design, implementation and operation of the works carried out by the CFE.
During his lifetime, the Manual has been revised total and partial to become an indispensable reference document for many of the works of engineering that are built in the country and Latin America. Total chapters of the Manual constitute a work of incalculable dimensions Mexican engineering as reflects the best of their knowledge and experiences. Its wide-edge content as have also become a complementary text in universities and schools engineering areas.
This revised edition of the Design for Wind chapter incorporates data and experiences of strong hurricanes that have affected Mexico and other countries In recent years, and the results of numerous studies of its effects on modern structures, and is another example of the effort that the FCC Electricity done to consolidate itself as a world class company.

Buckling of laminated plates with general boundary conditions under combined compression, tension, and shear—A semi-analytical solution
Thin-Walled Structures, Volume 46, Issues 7-9, July-September 2008, Pages 925-938
I. Shufrin, O. Rabinovitch, M. Eisenberger
If there someone can help me to found this article..
This is a reference book for students and engineer involved with vibroacoustics and noise reduction from structures and machinery. This title covers in depth structural radiation and vibration wave theory with classical references. Book exercises with answers provide applications to digest physics elements into long-term scientific and engineering background.
PREFACE:
In writing this book my aim has been to present a unified qualitative and quantitative account of the physical mechanisms and characteristics of linear interaction between audio-frequency vibrational motion in compressible fluids and structures with which they are in contact. The primary purpose is to instruct the reader in theoretical approaches to the modelling and analysis of interactions, whilst simultaneously providing physical explanations of their dependence upon the parameters of the coupled systems. It is primarily to the engineering student that the book is addressed, in the firm belief that a good engineer remains a student throughout his professional life. A preoccupation with the relevance and validity of theoretical analyses in relation to practical problems is a hallmark of the engineer. For this reason there is a strong emphasis on the relationship of results obtained from theoretical analysis of idealised models and the behaviour of the less than ideal realities from which they are abstracted. The teacher of analysis in any sphere of applied science is faced with a central dilemma: systems which can be modelled and analysed in a manner sufficiently explicit and direct to illustrate a principle are usually gross oversimplifications of the real world and are hence, to some extent, trivial; systems which are of practical concern are usually much too complex to offer suitable examples for didactic purposes.

NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures, 7th edition
NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures, 7th edition 2009
David Bonneville, Chairman, BSSC Board of Direction
Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC)
National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP)
Prepared for: Federal Emergency Management Agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Paperback
Edition: Seventh Edition
Publisher: Building Seismic Safety Council (2009)
Description:
The 2009 edition of the NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions is the seventh update since the first publication in 1985.
This new edition adopts ASCE/SEI 7-05 by reference, which allows the Provisions to resume its role as the resource for introducing new knowledge, innovative concepts, and design methods to improve the national seismic standards and codes. The Provisions are presented in a new one-volume format with three parts
Part 1 adopts ASCE/SEI 7-05 by reference and presents consensus approved modifications to the reference standard.
Part 2 provides a completely rewritten commentary that explains how to design using the reference standard.
Part 3 comprises a series of resource papers that focus on emerging seismic design concepts and methods for exposure to and trial use by the design community and on issues that have proven historically difficult or complex to adequately codify.

Primer for Design Professionals, Communicating with Owners and Managers of New Buildings on Earthquake Risk (FEMA389)
Primer for Design Professionals, Communicating with Owners and Managers of New Buildings on Earthquake Risk
Christopher Rojahn, Applied Technology Council
Risk Management Series
Series: Risk Management Series
Publisher: Federal Emergency Management Agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (FEM
Pages: 190
Subjects:
* Earthquake resistant design
* Earthquake hazard analysis
* Commercial buildings -- Earthquake effects
* Public buildings -- Earthquake effects
* Risk assessment
Description:
Seismic risk management tools, including new seismic engineering technology and data, are now available to assist with evaluating, predicting, and controlling financial and personal-injury losses from future damaging earthquakes. These tools have evolved as a result of scientific and engineering breakthroughs, including new earth-science knowledge about the occurrence and severity of earthquake shaking, and new engineering techniques for designing building systems and components to withstand the effects of earthquakes. As a result, design and construction professionals can now design and construct new buildings with more predictable seismic performance than ever before.
Seismic risks can be managed effectively in a number of ways, including the design and construction of better performing buildings as well as the employment of strategies that can result in risk reduction over the life of the building. Risk reduction techniques include the use of new technologies, such as seismic isolation and energy dissipation devices for both structural and nonstructural systems; site selection to avoid hazards such as ground motion amplification, landslide, and liquefaction; and the use of performance-based design concepts, which enable the engineer to better estimate building capacity and seismic loading demand and to design buildings for enhanced performance (beyond that typically provided by current seismic codes). The implementation of risk reduction strategies by building owners and managers is critically important, not only for reducing the likelihood of life loss and injury, but also for reducing the potential for losses associated with earthquake damage repair and business interruption.

Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors (FEMA)
Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors
Charles Kircher, Applied Technology Council
Publisher: Federal Emergency Management Agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (FEMA)
Published: June 2009
Pages: 421
Subjects:
* Earthquake resistant design - Standards
* Earthquake hazard analysis
* Buildings -- Earthquake effects
* Risk assessment
* Earthquake engineering.
* Structural analysis (Engineering)
* Building laws
The objective of this publication was to develop a procedure to establish consistent and rational building system performance and response parameters (R, Cd, Ω0) for the linear design methods traditionally used in current building codes. The primary application of the procedure is for the evaluation of structural systems for new construction with equivalent earthquake performance
Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors presents a recommended methodology for reliably quantifying building system performance and response parameters for use in seismic design. The parameters or “seismic performance factors” addressed include the response modification coefficient (R factor), system overstrength factor, and deflection amplification factor. The methodology is a refinement of an earlier preliminary methodology, and is based on a review of relevant research on nonlinear response and collapse simulation, benchmarking studies of selected structural systems, feedback from an expanded group of experts and potential users, and evaluations of additional structural systems conducted to verify the technical soundness and applicability of the approach
