Solved Problems in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics
The aim of this work is to bridge the gap between the well-known Newtonian mechanics and the studies on chaos, ordinarily reserved to experts. Several topics are treated: Lagrangian, Hamiltonian and Jacobi formalisms, studies of integrable and quasi-integrable systems. The chapter devoted to chaos also enables a simple presentation of the KAM theorem. All the important notions are recalled in summaries of the lectures. They are illustrated by many original problems, stemming from real-life situations, the solutions of which are worked out in great detail for the benefit of the reader. This book will be of interest to undergraduate students as well as others whose work involves mechanics, physics and engineering in general.

STAAD.foundation V8i (Release 5.0) was released in the first week of July 2009. This version is a major leap forward in addressing the foundation design needs for practicing engineers and a major upgrade to version 4.3.
The workflow in STAAD.foundation has been revised to align with the practical needs of practicing engineers. Most of the development effort was dedicated to produce professional quality drawings and step by step calculation sheets enabling engineers to see how the results were derived. All drawings are customizable and can be exported to DWG or DGN files. The old layout drawings have been replaced by more detailed GA (General Arrangement) drawings which produce a table with foundation marks and sizes along with actual foundation plan drawing. Detailed drawings have been revised to minimize the effort to produce construction drawings. A new "schedule drawing" is also introduced to produce foundation schedule drawings.
Several new foundation types have been added like "Block foundation", "Drilled Pier" and "Dead man anchor guy foundation". A new "Foundation Toolkit" mode has been created to address the needs of special foundation types like "Drilled Pier". New design parameters such as "water table" and "cohesion" have been added to both the isolated and combined foundation modules to address buoyancy effect and cohesion effect during uplift for all design codes. "Footing grouping" is another new feature to optimize time and cost and material.
The Australian (AS 3600-2400) and Canadian (CSA 23.3-04) codes are added to design isolated, combined and mat foundations.
A new verification manual will be published along with the software release including 60+ verification cases ranging from simple axially loaded footings to complex biaxial bending problems to polygonal shaped mat foundation. Verification problems are created to explain the design procedures for special foundations like "drilled pier" foundation.

Book Description:
Since the publication of the successful first edition of Earthquake Protection there have been 110 lethal earthquakes, killing 130 000 people; there have also been significant developments in the field of earthquake risk management, particularly in the modelling and analysis of risk for insurance and financial services. Furthermore, major earthquake disasters, such as the 1994 Northridge earthquake in California, the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan and the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have occurred. The experience and knowledge gained through these events have improved our understanding of how to manage, mitigate and work towards the prevention of similar catastrophes. The 1990s were in fact the costliest decade on record in terms of disaster management due to such seismic events, placing unprecedented pressure on the insurance industry in particular, and changing its view of earthquake protection.
Significantly revised and updated, this second edition continues to provide a comprehensive overview of how to reduce the impact of earthquakes on people and property, and implement best practice in managing the consequences of such disasters. It also includes significant coverage of the techniques of modelling earthquake catastrophe. Each chapter deals with a separate aspect of protection, and covers a wide range of economic and social conditions, drawing on the authors' considerable personal experience and with reference to real life examples.
Key features include:
* Recent event coverage
* Modern developments in the theory and practice of planning and engineering loss estimation techniques, along with new engineering techniques such as microzonation and hazard-mapping
* Historic buildings experience
* An entirely new chapter on 'Earthquakes and Finance'
This valuable book provides essential reading for earthquake and structural engineers and geoscientists, as well as insurers and loss prevention specialists, risk managers and assessors involved in managing earthquake risk, urban and regional planners, and emergency management agencies.

Product Description:
Unless the geological, tectonic, seismological and engineering aspects of earthquakes are mastered, constructions will never be safe. A thorough knowledge of earthquake geodynamics is also vital if the safety/cost ratio of all constructions is to be increased.
Containing contributions from renowned geoscientists with first-hand experience, this book discusses various aspects of earthquake geodynamics in seismically active regions. The chapters include lessons learnt from earthquakes that have struck urban areas during the past two decades and cover a wide variety of topics including the analysis of seismic sequences, the study of surficial deformation and geophysical techniques for microzonation purposes.
