Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have been proposed for use instead of steel prestressing tendons in concrete structures. The promise of FRP materials lies in their high-strength, lightweight, non corroding, nonconducting, and nonmagnetic properties.
This document offers general information on the history and use of FRP for prestressing applications and a description of the material properties of FRP. The document focuses on the current state of design, development, and research needed to characterize and ensure the performance of FRP as prestressing reinforcement in concrete structures.
The proposed guidelines are based on the knowledge gained from worldwide experimental research, analytical work, and field applications of FRPs used as prestressed reinforcement. The current development includes a basic understanding of flexure and axial prestressed members, FRP shear reinforcement, bond of FRP tendons, and unbonded or external FRP tendons for prestressing applications. The document concludes with a description of research needs.

"this book is one of CSI analysis references. as mentioned in sap2000 Software Verification"
A thorough treatment of vibration theory and its engineering applications, from simple degree to multi degree-of-freedom system. Focuses on the physical aspects of the mathematical concepts necessary to describe the vibration phenomena. Provides many example applications to typical problems faced by practicing engineers. Includes a chapter on computer methods, and an accompanying disk with four basic Fortran programs covering most of the calculations encountered in vibration problems.

Highway Geometric Design: Application of Design Standards in InRoads is a university-level textbook about roadway design. It applies geometric design standards in Bentley’s InRoads software to design a typical highway interchange.
Highway geometric design is a safety-centered design. This book teaches how to apply standards, control criteria, and project constraints in horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, and cross section design. It describes the processes and procedures to use design standards and controls – step-by-step – in the design of a freeway, ramps, and ramp terminal intersections. The guide also considers the geometric requirements of an undercrossing bridge and its false work, as well as culverts under the freeway and ramps.
Highway Geometric Design references the design standards of the California State Department of Transportation (Caltrans), but can also be useful for the standards and controls of other state Departments of Transportation, such as New York and Georgia, for the interchange design.
The chapters in this book are structured to reflect a student’s learning process, and have been tested extensively at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

I'm seeing more frequently copyright notice on buildings architectural and engineering drawings.
What's the whole point of that?
I'm not thinking about the concept which might be innovative e.g. solar panels supports.
In some parts of Europe the law requires that the whole design & execution papers (drawings + documents) are to be provided to the building owner and to a an official office (like city hall).
The building owner must (according to law) pass this package of documents to the new owner if any. Mainly this package stays with the building until the building is completely demolished.
During the life time of the building further documents must be attached to the initial package in case changes are applied to it.
From time to time design codes change and so the owner wishes to reevaluate the building performance or even safety.
In doing so is he required by the copyright law to request the author to copy the drawings?
What if the author rejects?
In time by using low quality paper and ink the drawings become difficult to read.
So for making backup of the drawings does the owner has to require permission to copy the documents and eventually pay for that?
Moreover some laws allow anyone to retrieve the documents or copies from the official office (city hall) in case the building owners package was lost.
If the copyright agreement is in the contract between the first owner and the author (designer) what happens if the building is sold.
Is it art to draw a lines in autocad? Something like a painting?
So if you work for the erection contractor do you pay copyright for copies of drawings?
Do you copy them without permission?
If you do technical surveys / rehabilitation do you wait for permission from the original designers to work with their drawings?
