Understanding And Implementing the Finite Element Method
Mark S. Gockenbach “Understanding And Implementing the Finite Element Method"
Society for Industrial & Applied Math | 2006-07-01 | ISBN: 0898716144 | 363 pages | PDF | 13,6 MB
The finite element method is the most powerful general-purpose technique for computing accurate solutions to partial differential equations. Understanding and Implementing the Finite Element Method is essential reading for those interested in understanding both the theory and the implementation of the finite element method for equilibrium problems. This book contains a thorough derivation of the finite element equations as well as sections on programming the necessary calculations, solving the finite element equations, and using a posteriori error estimates to produce validated solutions. Accessible introductions to advanced topics, such as multigrid solvers, the hierarchical basis conjugate gradient method, and adaptive mesh generation, are provided. Each chapter ends with exercises to help readers master these topics. Understanding and Implementing the Finite Element Method includes a carefully documented collection of MATLAB® programs implementing the ideas presented in the book. Readers will benefit from a careful explanation of data structures and specific coding strategies and will learn how to write a finite element code from scratch. Students can use the MATLAB codes to experiment with the method and extend them in various ways to learn more about programming finite elements. This practical book should provide an excellent foundation for those who wish to delve into advanced texts on the subject, including advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences.

This Project Management Institute Practice Standard for Work Breakdown Structures
provides guidance in the initial generation, subsequent development, and
application of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The target audience for this
standard includes project managers, project team members, contract personnel,
and others who participate or have an interest in any aspect of the management
of projects. In using this Practice Standard, it must be recognized that as projects
vary, so may the resulting WBSs. There are, however, certain universal principles
that this Practice Standard addresses.

Construction Process Planning and Management: An Owner's Guide to Successful Projects
Construction Process Planning and Management: An Owner's Guide to Successful Projects
Sidney M Levy,
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2009 | ISBN: 1856175480 | 392 pages | PDF | 7,8 MB
By their very nature, construction projects can create seemingly endless opportunities for conflict. Written by a best selling author with over 40 years of experiences in the construction and general contracting business, Construction Process Planning and Management provides you with the necessary tools to save time and money on your construction project. In this book, Sid Levy provides valuable advice for avoiding or working through the common problems that are a result of the long-term nature of construction projects, failure to select a ?project delivery system? appropriate to the project, incomplete drawing and specifications, unrealistic scheduling, poor communication and coordination among participants, and inadequate contract administration. From project genesis, through design development to contractor and contract selection, on to construction oversight, punch list and successful project close-out, this book will point out those pitfalls to avoid and offer practical advice at every step along the way.
Administer the general construction process including solicitation of contractor's qualifications (pre-qualify bidders), comparative analysis of bid packages, recommendation for contract award, contract document negotiation and documentation of job change orders.
Provide Project Planning and on-site management and coordination of all construction projects.
Ensure compliance of building construction rules and regulations and collaborate with chief engineers to monitor quality of construction.
Conduct technical/plan review of construction documents and submit written responses identifying required corrections or changes.
Design, implement and oversee Company standards for construction policies, practices and processes.

Since there is no section to request analysis file, I think it is appropriate to post my request on this section.
On page 1-3 of technical paper entitled "Detailed Example of a Tall Shear Wall Building Using CSI's Perform-3D" , it is written that shear wall examples are not installed automatically particularly the files in the folders of ExampleCS12A, ExampleCS12B, ExampleCS12C, and the earthquake records in the folder WallExample.
Anyone who has these files please upload, because one way to understand and follow the technical paper is to open these files in Perform-3D environment.
