An Excel Spreadsheet which imports Staad support reactions from the Staad file using OpenSTAAD functions. Results are sorted and can be used with any foundation design spreadsheets. This is my first try of using OpenSTAAD functions. Any suggestions on improving the embedded macro code will be appreciated.

Remote Sensing and GIS Integration: Theories, Methods, and Applications: Theory, Methods, and Applications
Remote Sensing and GIS Integration: Theories, Methods, and Applications: Theory, Methods, and Applications
Qihao Weng,
McGraw-Hill Professional | 2009 | ISBN: 007160653X | 416 pages | PDF | 10,9 MB
Maximize a geographical information tool by incorporating it with up-to-date remotely sensed data
GIS is predominantly a data-handling technology, while remote sensing is a data retrieval and analysis technology. This book addresses the need to combine remotely sensed data with cartographic, socioeconomic, and environmental data and GIS functionalities.
Remote Sensing and GIS Integration begins with theoretical discussions, followed by a series of application areas in urban and environmental studies that employ the integration of remote sensing and GIS. Each application area is examined through analysis of state-of-the-art methods and detailed presentations of one or more case studies.

Stress Field of the Earth's Crust
Arno Zang, Ove Stephansson,
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 1402084439 | 240 pages | PDF | 5,9 MB
This book about rock stress is suitable for students in geosciences and engineering, who need to broaden their horizon about the Stress Field of the Earth´s Crust. The book covers the topic in a way such that geoscience students will be able to grasp the Cauchy Stress Principle without fear of matrix transformations in an exercise. Students interested in math, physics and engineering will learn to cement a strain gauge on a rock specimen, measure residual strains by multiple overcoring and evaluate the results. Leading edge technology in determining stress (Kaiser Effect) is presented together with classical methods (Hydraulic Fracturing). In addition, borehole techniques (Breakouts) and drillcore techniques (Anelastic Strain Recovery) are illustrated. With respect to stress data, we choose locations of global interest where integrated stress determination strategies have been applied. Each case study presented has special application, like the scientific ultra-deep drilling project (KTB, Germany), drilling of seismic active fault zones (SAFOD, USA) and excavation for nuclear waste disposal (Forsmark, Sweden). Stress compilations viewed by the World Stress Map project are presented and interpreted in terms of plate tectonics. The purpose of this book is twofold. First, to report on the current field of knowledge in rock stress to students at an introduction level and second, to inform readers about stress measurements in underground excavations of public interest and about global rock stress in plate tectonic settings.
This textbook consists of three main chapters accompanied by a DVD containing twelve video lectures presenting the same material in a self-instructed way. Exercises, laboratory testing and colour animations are included to emphasize the role of stress in various fields of solid earth sciences.

Luiz A. Mendes-Victor, Carlos S. Sousa Oliveira, João Azevedo, António Ribeiro, "The 1755 Lisbon Earthquake: Revisited"
Springer | ISBN: 1402086083 | November 1, 2008 | 600 pages | PDF | 11.9MB
The 1755 earthquake and tsunami were influential not only in Portugal but in all European and North African countries where the devastating effects were felt. The entire world was deeply impressed and the discussion of its causes generated a large amount of scientific and metaphysical speculation. It inspired philosophers, poets and writers. The socio-economic consequences of the event were great and affected the future organization and development of Portugal. The possibility of a similar occurence urges society and the scientific community to reflect on its lessons.
