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.
Boundary concepts are introduced and immediately applied in simple - but useful - computer codes. These codes facilitate the comprehension of boundary elements. This text also discusses basic concepts, potential problems, elastostatics and other topics of interest to engineers.

Description:
Unsaturated Soils: Advances in Geo-Engineering comprises 136 contributions from leading international researchers and practitioners, presented at the First European Conference on Unsaturated Soils (Durham, UK, 2-4 July 2008). The papers report on the latest advances in geo-engineering aspects of unsaturated soils. It is the first collection to focus on research developments within Europe, where a resurgence of interest in unsaturated soil behaviour has lead to major advances.
The volume is divided into five sections:
- Advances in testing techniques,
- Engineering behaviour,
-Constitutive modelling,
- Numerical modelling,
-Case histories.
The areas of application include slope stability, foundations, dams, contaminated land, landfill and nuclear waste repositories. The section on advances in testing techniques includes recent developments in high capacity tensiometers, spatial Time Domain Reflectometry and Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy. The section on engineering behaviour includes the latest findings concerning factors affecting the water retention surface; volume change of soils during wetting and drying; peak, ultimate and residual strength of soils; small strain modulii and shear wave responses. The sections on Constitutive and Numerical modelling address major developments in coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical elasto-plastic models.c

The Journal of Structural Engineering reports on fundamental knowledge that contributes to the state of the art and state of the practice in structural engineering. Authors discuss the art and science of structural design; investigate the physical properties of engineering materials as related to structural behavior; develop methods of analysis; and study the merits of various types of structures and methods of construction.
