i have noticed lavteam has placed a tag on its effort producing meds "not to be posted in civil**.com".
this is true for the latest mstowerv62, or microstranv9, etc.. while other forums post their work regardless, ii hope it is not an issue with us given this is also posted in the software section. just thinking..

In Structural Condition Assessment, editor-in-chief Robert T. Ratay gathers together the leading people in the field to produce the first unified resource on all aspects of structural condition assessment for strength, serviceability, restoration, adaptive reuse, code compliance, and vulnerability. Organized by the four main stages of a structural evaluation, this book provides an introduction to structural deterioration and its consequences, the business and legal aspects of conducting an evaluation, initial survey and evaluation techniques for various structures, and specific tests for five of the most common structural materials (concrete, steel, masonry, timber and fabric.)
The current AISC 360-10 steel design module in STAAD.Pro has been turbo charged by restructuring the design processes to use multi-threading which can deliver a major performance boost that results in designs being performed quicker and making designers more productive.
Canadian Concrete Design in Concrete Mode
A new beam and column design module, to the Canadian concrete design standard, has been added to the Concrete Mode giving designers a clear design with detailed supporting calculations.
SP 16.13330.2011 Steel Design
A new steel design module has been added to the main analysis and design engine to the current Russian steel design specification.
SP 20.13330.2011 Wind Loading
An additional new wind load pre-processing module has been added that can quickly create wind loading on frames to the current Russian specification.
SP 14.13330.2011 Seismic Loading
A new response spectra routine has been added to support the seismic definitions as defined in the current Russian design code.
User Reports
The popular method to create custom user reports has been updated so that it is now possible to include more detail of the analysis functions that have been introduced into STAAD.Pro over recent times such as Reference and Notional load cases.
Finite element Analysis
Improved analysis routines for models incorporating quad-plates means that the analysis can now be performed on models with slightly warped elements which previously would have not been possible.
Cloud Analysis
An updated UI improves project interoperability with Bentley CONNECT Scenario Services giving the opportunity to explore the effects of alternative scenarios and determine a best solution for given criteria.
Over 180 documented updates are listed in the Revision History document (view details here) with over 90 updates specifically in the analysis and design engine ranging from small enhancements in the output to corrections affecting a number of the design routines.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 28 papers examining the most current thinking and practices involving unsaturated soils. Geotechnical and civil engineers all over the world face problems with a wide range of geosystems involving materials that remain under partially saturated conditions throughout the year. The lack of education and training among engineering graduates and practitioners to deal properly with unsaturated soil conditions has resulted in faulty or excessively conservative designs, frequent construction delays, and deficient long-term performance of built infrastructure. Over the last few decades, however, the discipline of unsaturated soil mechanics has begun to receive increasing attention worldwide, providing better explanations for soil behavioral patterns than conventional saturated soil mechanics.
Papers in this proceedings address, first, general characterization and constitutive behavior, and second, applied modeling and analysis.

Author: G. I. Pshenichnov | Size: 35 | 4 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Co | Year: 1993 | pages: 309 | ISBN: 9810210493
The book presents a theory of latticed shells constructed on the basis of a continual model and describes its applications. It analyzes the problems of statics, stability, dynamics. A special emphasis is laid on the study of linear problems. However, in some instances the geometrical and physical nonlinearity are also considered. The problems of optimum designing in terms of material consumption is given considerable attention. Some of the findings are generalized and extended to the edged and composite systems. In dealing with specific boundary value problems the author applies, among other methods, a new method of decomposition which he has developed and which helps to obtain simple approximated results characterized by high accuracy and used for calculating the elements in a broad class structures.

This manual, Pipelines for Water Conveyance and Drainage, includes a discussion of twenty topics for various pipe materials. The topics discussed include industry standards, available pipe sizes, standard lengths, allowable internal pressures, external load capabilities, protective linings, protective coatings, joints, fi ttings, hydraulic resistance factor, allowable leakage rates, repair methods, installation requirements, backfi ll requirements, special considerations, industry groups, and reference materials.
The need for a concise listing and description of the most commonly used types of pipe for water conveyance and drainage purposes was recognized by ASCE members in the late 1990s. Several new pipe materials were being introduced and new standards for these materials were being developed. Many of the new materials offered several advantages compared to the materials currently available, including reduced cost, longer life, improved fl ow characteristics, and ease of installation. In addition, manufacturers of existing pipe materials often modified and improved their products to make them more competitive.
The pipe materials discussed herein include concrete pipe, steel pipe, ductile iron pipe, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, molecularly oriented PVC pipe, high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, polyethylene profile wall pipe, PVC and polypropylene profile wall pipe, corrugated polyethylene pipe, vitrifi ed clay pipe, clay drain tile, fi berglass pipe, and corrugated metal pipe. The intent of the manual is to provide design engineers, utility managers, educators, and planners a concise listing and description of the most commonly used types of pipe for water conveyance and drainage purposes.

ISO 23469:2005 provides guidelines for specifying seismic actions for designing geotechnical works, including buried structures (e.g. buried tunnels, box culverts, pipelines, and underground storage facilities), foundations (e.g. shallow and deep foundations, and underground diaphragm walls), retaining walls (e.g. soil retaining and quay walls), pile-supported wharves and piers, earth structures (e.g. earth and rockfill dams and embankments), gravity dams, landfill and waste sites.
The guidelines provided in ISO 23469:2005 are general enough to be applicable for both new and existing geotechnical works. However, for use in practice, procedures more specific to existing geotechnical works can be needed, such as those described for existing structures in ISO 13822.

Mechanical engineering, an engineering discipline born of the needs of the Industrial Revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face the profound issues of productivity and competitiveness that require engineering solutions, among others. The Mechanical Engineering Series is a new series, featuring graduate texts and research monographs, intended to address the need for information in contemporary areas of mechanical engineering. The series is conceived as a comprehensive one that will cover a broad range of concentrations important to mechanical engineering graduate education and research. We are fortunate to have a distinguished roster of consulting editors, each an expert in one of the areas of concentration. The names of the consult ing editors are listed on page vi. The areas of concentration are applied mechanics, biomechanics, computational mechanics, dynamic systems and control, energetics, mechanics of materials, processing, thermal science, and tribology. We are pleased to present Nonlinear Analysis of Thin-Walled Structures by James F. Doyle. Austin, Texas Frederick F. Ling Preface This book is concerned with the challenging subject of the nonlinear static, dynamic, and stability analyses of thin-walled structures. It carries on from where Static and Dynamic Analysis of Structures, published by Kluwer 1991, left off; that book concentrated on frames and linear analysis, while the present book is focused on plated structures, nonlinear analysis, and a greater emphasis on stability analysis.
