I think we need to evaluate moderators performance every now and then. We also need to evaluate them from different aspects, one of which how they handle problems. Some moderators unfortunately feel the power (hopefully not many in this distinguished forum)

Structural Analysis and Synthesis: A Laboratory Course in Structural Geology
This widely used, highly readable introduction to structural analysis is specifically designed to support the laboratory work of undergraduates in structural geology courses.
The new third edition includes:
* New and amended exercises and redrafted figures to improve clarity
* A single fold-out map of the Bree Creek Quadrangle – a mythical site used to help students analyze various aspects of the geologic structures exposed within this quadrangle and ultimately to develop a grand synthesis
* A user-friendly spiral binding ideal for work in the lab or out in the field
* An Instructor’s Resource CD-Rom available on request including answers to problems, artwork and other teaching suggestions - artwork from the book is also available to instructors online at

Advances in Earthquake Engineering for Urban Risk Reduction
* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 551
* Publication Date: 2006-06-30
Description:
Earthquakes affecting urban areas can lead to catastrophic situations and hazard mitigation requires preparatory measures at all levels. Structural assessment is the diagnosis of the seismic health of buildings. Assessment is the prelude to decisions about rehabilitation or even demolition. The scale of the problem in dense urban settings brings about a need for macro seismic appraisal procedures because large numbers of existing buildings do not conform to the increased requirements of new earthquake codes and specifications or have other deficiencies. It is the vulnerable buildings - liable to cause damage and loss of life - that need immediate attention and urgent appraisal in order to decide if structural rehabilitation and upgrading are feasible. Current economic, efficient and occupant-friendly rehabilitation techniques vary widely and include the application either of precast concrete panels or layers, strips and patches of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) in strategic locations. The papers in this book, many by renowned authorities in earthquake engineering, chart new and vital directions of research and application in the assessment and rehabilitation of buildings in seismic regions. While several papers discuss the probabilistic prediction and quantification of structural damage, others present approaches related with the in-situ and occupant friendly upgrading of buildings and propose both economical and practical techniques to address the problem.
