The RAM Structural System is powerful and versatile special purpose software for the analysis and design of building structures. It is useful in the design and analysis of commercial, institutional and industrial buildings. The RAM Structural System automates the process of calculating tributary loads, live load reduction, gravity member selection, frame analysis, drift control, frame member and joint code checking, special seismic provisions member and joint checking and foundation design. By automating these tedious and time consuming processes, the engineer can quickly obtain an accurate design. Different framing configurations may be examined in a short period of time, resulting in substantial timesaving for the Engineer and a more economical design for the client. The interface with CAD software permits rapid generation of framing plans, saving significant drafting time and reducing the errors associated with manual information transfer.
The RAM Structural System is composed of a number of special purpose modules, each of which is invoked from the RAM Manager. The RAM Modeler provides for the creation of a model of the entire structure, including roof and floor loads; beam, column, brace and wall geometry and locations; and slab properties, openings and edges. Powerful, yet easy to use graphical model generation features are provided which allow complex floor and building systems to be modeled in a short time. The result is a comprehensive database of building data which can be accessed by the analysis and design modules, providing a completely integrated solution.

RAM Concept is an analysis and design program that uses
the finite element method for elevated concrete floor
systems, or mat foundations. The floors or mats can be
post-tensioned concrete (PT), reinforced concrete (RC), or
hybrid (a mixture of PT and RC). Concept is extremely
powerful and allows you to design an entire floor in one
model, or design individual strips or beams.
In this context, the term “design” means that:
• The user defines the following: structural geometry,
loads, load combinations, and post-tensioning layout (if
applicable).
• Concept calculates (for any number of load combinations):
the required amount of reinforcement for flexure
and one-way shear according to relevant code requirements;
the stud shear reinforcement (SSR) for punching
shear, stresses for flexure, and deflections.

I received the following email from 4Shared today and thought it prudent to pass onto the forum since several downloads are found on that site. While it doesn't appear that 4shared is going to disappear completely, it does appear to me that they wish for us to update our files to a new server.
Quote:Dear 4shared user,
In the coming weeks, we're going to retire 4shared accounts support in 4Sync applications. This step is important to make 4Sync even more reliable and easy to use.
After the 24th of December 2012 you won't be able to use 4Sync with your 4shared account. We're encouraging existing 4shared users to create a new 4Sync account and transfer files.
4Sync retires 4shared accounts support

The blog itself has the following information (comments left off for clarity):
Quote:New Year is coming, and usually it means changes. Year 2012 was a busy year for us at 4Sync. Many things changed for desktop application, and for mobile 4Sync. Now we want to focus on improving user experience, and want to make things simpler. In the coming weeks we will stop the ability to log in to 4Sync applications with 4shared accounts. This step is important for us to make 4Sync even more reliable and easy solution for keeping all your files in sync.
After December 24th, 2012 you won’t be able to use 4Sync with your 4shared account, but all your files will remain at 4shared. We are encouraging all current 4shared users to create a new 4Sync account and transfer all their files to this account.
After December 24th, 2012 you can create a new 4Sync account with the same email as you use at 4shared. Alternatively 4shared Desktop application may be used to manage your files at 4shared.
If you forgot which service you registered at, here’s a reminder: Which user am I. **See Private Note**

Due to global competition, safety regulations, and other factors, manufacturers are increasingly pressed to create products that are safe, highly reliable, and of high quality. Engineers and quality assurance professionals need a cross-disciplinary understanding of these topics in order to ensure high standards in the design and manufacturing processes. Reliability, Quality, and Safety for Engineers is the first publication to integrate this information in a single source.
The text begins with an introduction that discusses the need for reliability, quality and safety as well as historical information, terms, and definitions. Subsequent chapters discuss relevant mathematics, evaluation models and methods, testing, management, and costing. The author treats each topic in a comprehensive manner that requires no prior knowledge of the subject in order to understand the contents.
The author includes numerous examples, problems, and solutions to test the reader's comprehension. He also lists important journals, organizations, standards, and books for further study, creating a comprehensive resource for design, system, safety and manufacturing engineers as well as reliability specialists and quality assurance professionals.
About the author (2005) :
Dr. B.S. Dhillon is a Professor of Engineering Management in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa. He attended the University of Wales where he received a BS in electrical and electronic engineering and an MS in mechanical engineering. He received a Ph.D. in industrial engineering from the University of Windsor.
He has served as a Chairman/Director of Mechanical Engineering Department/Engineering Management Program for over 10 years at the same institution. He has served as a consultant to various organizations and bodies and has many years of experience in the industrial sector. He has published over 320 articles on engineering management, reliability, safety, etc. He has been on the editorial boards of 8 international scientific journals. In addition, Dr. Dhillon has written 29 books on various aspects of engineering management, design, reliability, safety, and quality published by Wiley (1981), Van Nostrand (1982), Butterworth (1983), Marcel Dekker (1984), Pergamon (1986), etc. He has served as General Chairman of two international conferences on reliability and quality control held in Los Angeles and Paris in 1987.

"Towards a New Architecture" by Le Corbusier is THE classic book advocating for and exploring the concept of modern architecture. It has had an undeniable lasting effect on the architectural profession, serving as the manifesto for a generation of architects and unquestionably a critical piece of architectural theory. The architectural historian Reyner Banham claimed that its influence is definately "beyond that of any other architectural work published in this [20th] century to date" and this unparalleled influence has continued into the 21st century.

Mod note:
Here we go again!
Do not post premium links only without providing the free ones.
If You want to leech money do it somewhere else.
But my guess is that Your only goal is to post more links from other sites without checking them first.
Try to upload some materials yourself instead.
