I have observered several members were banned recently. Just wondering is there a possiblilty, whenever someone is banned the reason be stated in forum discussion or any other way for other members. NOT TO PICK on the banned person but enabling other members not to make the same mistake as he have.
I know this is extra work for you guys. but its only a suggestion. :)
We all will make mistakes, this way there will be less of them.
This publication presents procedures for the design of wind-moment frames in accordance with BS 5950-1. In this method of design, the frame is made statically determinate by treating the connections as pinned under vertical loads and fixed under horizontal loads (with certain assumed points of zero moment). The publication gives design procedures for frames that are braced in the minor axis direction and for frames that do not have bracing in either principal direction. The limitations of the method, which differ slightly for these two cases, are explained. In particular, it should be noted that the method is only recommended for low-rise frames up to four storeys high.

Ferdinand P. Beer, E. Russell Johnston Jr., John T. DeWolf, "Mechanics of Materials"
McGraw Hill Higher Education | 2005 | ISBN: 0071249990 | 779 pages | PDF | 36,5 MB
For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for excellence. The revision of their classic "Mechanics of Materials" features an updated art and photo program as well as numerous new and revised homework problems. The text's superior Online Learning Center includes an extensive Self-paced, Mechanics, Algorithmic, Review and Tutorial (S.M.A.R.T.), created by George Staab and Brooks Breeden of The Ohio State University, that provides students with additional help on key concepts. The custom website also features animations for each chapter, lecture powerpoints, and other online resources for both instructors and students.

"Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity"
Prentice Hall PTR ,4 ed | 2003 | ISBN: 0130473928 | 560 pages | PDF | 11,3 MB
This systematic exploration of real-world stress analysis has been completely revised and updated to reflect state-of-the-art methods and applications now in use throughout the fields of aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering and engineering mechanics. Distinguished by its exceptional visual interpretations of the solutions, it offers an in-depth coverage of the subjects for students and practicing engineers. The authors carefully balance comprehensive treatments of solid mechanics, elasticity, and computer-oriented numerical methods. In addition, a wide range of fully worked illustrative examples and an extensive problem sets--many taken directly from engineering practice--have been incorporated. Key additions to the Fourth Edition of this highly acclaimed textbook are materials dealing with failure theories, fracture mechanics, compound cylinders, numerical approaches, energy and variational methods, buckling of stepped columns, common shell types, and more. Contents include stress, strain and stress-strain relations, problems in elasticity, static and dynamic failure criteria, bending of beams and torsion of bars, finite difference and finite element methods, axisymmetrically loaded members, beams on elastic foundations, energy methods, elastic stability, plastic behavior of materials, stresses in plates and shells, and selected references to expose readers to the latest information in the field.

Progressive Collapse of Structures

The progressive collapse of a structure is characterized by a disproportion between a comparatively minor event or local failure and the ensuing widespread collapse. Different structural systems exhibit different degrees of susceptibility to progressive collapse and such differences are neglected in modern design procedures based on reliability theory.
Disregarding the potential for progressive collapse in structural design can be associated with such catastrophic events as the collapses of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building (Oklahoma City, 1995) and the World Trade Center (New York, 2001), but also with a large number of less dramatic failures.
This book gives engineers the practical, systematic framework they need to anticipate the risk of progressive collapse and apply this knowledge to design and assessment procedures.
This will be an invaluable guide for structural engineers at all levels as well as many students and lecturers on civil and structural engineering courses.
Contents
Introduction
Typology of progressive collapse
Current design procedures
Design against progressive collapse
Design methods
Applications
Measures of robustness and collapse resistance
Conclusions
Time history analysis as a method of implementing performance based design
info:
The current loadings code, NZS4203:1992 (Standards NZ, 1992) permits the use of time history analysis for all structures but the procedures are non-prescriptive and open to varying interpretation, particularly in the selection and scaling of time history records. Scaling of at least three records is required such that “over the period range of interest … the 5% damped spectrum of the earthquake record does not differ significantly from the design spectrum”. In practice, this has usually been interpreted so as to scale records to provide approximately the same average spectrum as the design spectrum.
info:
Progressive collapse is the collapse of all or a large part of a structure precipitated by damage or failure of a relatively small part of it. The phenomenon is of particular concern since progressive collapse is often (though not always) disproportionate, i.e., the collapse is out of proportion to the event that triggers it. Thus, in structures susceptible to progressive collapse, small events can have catastrophic consequences.

Metal Forming Analysis
R. H. Wagoner, J.-L. Chenot,
Cambridge University Press
2001
ISBN: 0521642671
390 pages
DjVu 21,7 MB
Numerical methods, particularly finite element (FE) analysis, are being used increasingly to optimize product design and deal with problems in metal forging, rolling, and extrusion processes. Metal Forming Analysis describes the latest and most important numerical techniques for simulating metal-forming operations. The first part of the book describes principles and procedures and includes numerous examples and worked problems. The remaining chapters focus on applications of numerical analysis to specific forming operations. Most of these results are drawn from the authors' research in the areas of metal testing, sheet metal forming, forging, extrusion, and similar operations. Sufficient information is presented so that readers can understand the application of the nonlinear finite element method to forming problems without a prior background in structural finite element analysis.
