The construction phases of the Alamillo Bridge were quite complicated, at first conducted an extensive study of soil mechanics, to understand the terrain more favorable for construction, subsurface features revealed the complexity of the work to be loamy sands low volume and expansive, which would require very deep to excavate.
As a result of geological study determined the type of foundation chosen for the mast, consisting of a large concrete as where the mast is embedded, forming a single monolithic piece gives flexibility to the weights and push wind through the steel jacket.
The very foundation is used by the architect to create a terrace overlooking the lap around the perimeter and underneath the bridge structure, exposing the bottom of the bearing structure.
It is an incomplete work on the proposal of providing for Calatrava addition to the current Alamillo Bridge, another twin bridge, perpendicular to the first willing to save the other side of the river, over a viaduct that had to cross to the island of La Cartuja.
The architect devised a human torso crowd pulling tension cable that secures the board with flexibility and balance thanks to its inclination.
The materials used in steel and reinforced concrete white, which makes full of grace and slenderness, is truly monumental sculpture.

Many engineers only see the static capacity of the structure, forgetting to see beyond the elastic limit. For this I'm posting this article, in order to begin to analyze some problems within the domain elasto-plastic, because even though its beam statically not support, if it is within the domain elasto-plastic, may still be able to recover part deformation gained from the impact.
1.1 Introduction
This Recommended Practice deals with design to maintain the load-bearing function of the structures during accidental events. The overall goal of the design against accidental loads is to achieve a system where the main safety functions of the installation are not impaired.
The Recommended Practice has been developed for general world-wide application. Governmental legislation may include requirements in excess of the provisions of this Recommended Practice depending on type, location and intended service of the unit/installation.
The Design Accidental Loads and associated performance criteria are given in DNV-OS-A101. The Accidental Loads in this standard are prescriptive loads. This Recommended Practice may also be used in cases where the Design Accidental Loads are determined by a formal safety assessment (see DNV-OS-A101, Appendix C) or Quantified Risk Assessment (QRA).
The following main subjects are covered:
— Design philosophy
— Ship Collisions
— Dropped Objects
— Fire
— Explosions.
1.2 Application
The Recommended Practice is applicable to all types of floating and fixed offshore structures made of steel. The methods described are relevant for both substructures and topside structures.
The document is limited to load-carrying structures and does not cover pressurised equipment.
1.3 Objectives The objective with this Recommended Practice is to provide recommendations for design of structures exposed to accidental events.

While most construction management books are project based, this book looks at management principles and techniques applied to the day-to-day problems facing a business in the construction industry.
It covers:
* Business strategy
* Industrial relations
* Health and safety
* Managing people
* Financial management
* Quantitative methods
The text includes end of chapter review questions and a range of illustrative examples.
Since the book was first written in 1982 much has changed. The Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and takes account of the increased globalisation of construction, the move from public to private sector work, the drive for productivity, changing procurement methods, new emphasis on life cycle costing and much more.
It will provide a valuable text for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in construction management, surveying and civil engineering as well as offering useful insights for practitioners undertaking CPD activities.

Structural Materials for Innovative Nuclear Systems (SMINS)
These proceedings include the papers and the poster session materials presented at the workshop, representing the international state of the art in this domain.
Structural materials research is a field of growing relevance in the nuclear sector, especially for the different innovative reactor systems being developed within the Generation IV International Forum (GIF), for critical and subcritical transmutation systems, and of interest to the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP). Under the auspices of the NEA Nuclear Science Committee (NSC) the Workshop on Structural Materials for Innovative Nuclear Systems (SMINS) was organised in collaboration with the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe in Germany. The objectives of the workshop were to exchange information on structural materials research issues and to discuss ongoing programmes, both experimental and in the field of advanced modelling.

Nonlinear analysis methods such as static pushover are globally considered a reliable tool for seismic and structural assessment. But the accuracy of seismic capacity estimates—which can prevent catastrophic loss of life and astronomical damage repair costs—depends on the use of the correct basic input parameters.
Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures simplifies the estimation of those vital parameters. Many design engineers make the relatively common mistake of using default properties of materials as input to nonlinear analyses without realizing that any minor variation in the nonlinear characteristics of constitutive materials, such as concrete and steel, could result in a solution error that leads to incorrect assessment or interpretation.
Streamlined Analysis Using a Mathematical Model
To achieve a more accurate pushover analysis and improve general performance-based design, this book reassesses some key inputs, including axial force-bending moment yield interaction, moment-curvature, and moment-rotation characteristics. It analyzes these boundaries using a detailed mathematical model of reinforced concrete sections based on international codes, and then proposes design curves and tables derived from the authors’ studies using a variety of nonlinear tools, computer programs, and software. The text reviews relevant literature and describes mathematical modeling, detailing numerical procedures step by step.
Including supplementary online material that can be used to compute any parameter, this reference delineates nonlinear properties of materials so that they can be used instantly for seismic analysis without having to solve cumbersome equations.

I suggest a new section creates in the forum on tips that the users could contribute on the managing software. This related to the experience that they have for the managing of the programs
As like for example, some tips on the managing of sap2000, civil3D, revit structure, etc. not necessarily with videoes but they might be descriptions or steps on the resolution of algun problem especially, etc...
Hello
In sap2000 i know how to define wind burdening, but i have probelm wiht passing on the structure, Any idea how to do these,or bether any tutorial (video or pdf),
Tanx in advance!!
The Autodesk Subscription Advantage Pack for AutoCAD 2010 includes a new set of TimeSaver Tools to help you work faster. You can now more easily select and work with objects when editing drawings to help streamline workflows. Several TimeSaver Tools were top AUGI wish-list requests.
New TimeSaver Tools include:
* Hide and isolate objects — Turn objects on and off regardless of layer to save time in tracking objects across layers and quickly show or hide objects as needed.
* Select similar — Select objects with similar properties, such as layer or linetype, or blocks and xrefs with the same names.
* Add selected — Create a new object for your drawing by matching the type and properties of another selected object.
* Hatch to back — Streamline the process of working with hatches by easily selecting hatches and then sending them to the back of the drawing.
