Description
Sponsored by the Technical Council on Forensic Engineering of ASCE.
Failure Case Studies in Civil Engineering: Structures, Foundations, and the Geoenvironment, Second Edition, provides short descriptions of 50 real-world examples of constructed works that did not perform as intended. Designed for classroom use, each case study contains a brief summary, lessons learned, and references to key sources. This new edition, which replaces the 1995 classic edited by Robin Shepherd and J. David Frost, offers expanded descriptions, additional photographs and diagrams, and updated references. It also includes new case studies, such as the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, the Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal, and the North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Water Treatment Plant.
Topics include:
foundation failures;
embankment, dam, and slope failures;
geoenvironmental failures;
bridge failures; and
building failures.
This book supplies valuable resource material on typical failures that can be integrated into undergraduate engineering courses. Engineering professors and their students will use this book as the basis for class discussions, a starting point for further research, and a demonstration of how each failure leads to improved engineering design and safety.

Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, is AutoCAD software for controls designers, purpose-built to create and modify electrical control systems. It contains all the functionality of AutoCAD, plus a comprehensive set of tools for automating control engineering tasks, such as building circuits, numbering wires, and creating bills of material. AutoCAD Electrical provides a library of more than 700,000 electrical symbols and components, includes real-time error checking, and enables electrical and mechanical teams to collaborate on digital prototypes built with Autodesk Inventor software. AutoCAD Electrical offers control engineers a competitive edge by helping save hours of effort, so they can spend more time innovating.

I see posts about job advice, software modeling, buying random electronics but I write a post asking about the Civil PE Exam and it gets deleted. What the fuck is the point of this?
So I see an announcement that says
"Free discussion is not for engineering subjects" but the forum link is dead in the topic so essentially you have a civil engineering forum where you can't actually discuss engineering topics....yet there's these topics:
Recommanded VGA for Common Cilvil Engineering Software
Unasaturated soil mechanics - from where to start

AutoCAD Architecture - this version of AutoCAD, created specifically for the design of construction projects. Architectural drawing tools allow for more efficient design and create documentation in a familiar software environment of AutoCAD. Productivity growth in AutoCAD Architecture as compared to traditional CAD has been observed from the first minute, and new product features designers learn at your own pace. Create architectural drafting and design documents more efficiently with tools that enhance visualization, collaboration, and documentation with productivity tools meant specifically for architects.

AutoCAD LT provides all the features we were seeking, all of which help improve the overall usability of the CAD design software. You can create custom tool palettes that display only the tools you need for your current project. This allows you to organize the interface in the most efficient and useful way for that particular project. There’s also convenient drag-and-drop functionality of design objects and a command history that lets you track changes. The latter is especially important if the project is a collaboration between multiple users so you can see the specific changes made by each user.

This British Standard gives recommendations for the safe selection and installation of anchors for use in concrete and masonry. It is intended to provide practical guidance for designers, specifiers, manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, installers and testers of anchors.
In particular, this British Standard applies to the selection and installation of anchors which are used in safety-critical applications.
This British Standard is restricted to the use of anchors which are inserted into concrete and masonry in drilled holes.
