Dear All
I would like to take this opportunity to wish Happy Holidays for all
Happy new year and prosperity for all
And Happy 4 th. Anniversary for CivilEA
We’re eating a piece of cake today to celebrate our 4th birthday! Starting as an online civil engineering association to help you be up-to-date as you can be, our number one goal remains to help our members, old and new.
We are an expert community in Civil Engineering with more than 57000 registered users and 10+ professional moderators.
According to Google Analytics logs during last year (22-Dec-2011 to 22-Dec-2012) 915,489 people visited this site (unique visitors). 3,251,677 Visits and 26,182,540 page visits.
These statics shows that we are #1 Civil Engineering Community in the world.
Anyway quantity is not important and our main concern is quality. We are happy to say that CivilEA is #1 in quality too.
We are trying to brings you the best services as you can see, at now we manage these services:
1-Managing CivilEA websites:
Civil Engineering Association Community.
CivilEA exclusive image hosting.
CivilEA Link leecher for VIP members.
CivilEA FaceBook page.
2-Managing CivilEA servers
Main dedicated server for forum.
Another server for hosting other CivilEA websites.
Backup Server.
CDN servers, that brings you high speed anywhere that you live.
3-Expert Moderating on forum (By our expert moderators) 4-Expert team for design, modify, upgrade our scripts to brings you the best performance for our websites.
Over the past year, we’ve updated our forum design and also we’ve updated our servers and improved them. Our up-time during last year was more than 99.98%. Also we added CDN servers for brings you highest performance.
We have very good news for CivilEA fans, and we`ll behind you with new features, can’t wait to share them for you! Here’s some highlights of what you will see in new year:
We are ready to migrate to new server with high performance. This action brings you smooth speed and performance during navigation on CivilEA.
We are planing to bring for you exclusive file hosting server with direct and high speed download. CivilEA will be clean from dead links.
I want to repeat again, we are nothing without you, CivilEA will be bigger if you want. Any community or company will be grow behind their fans. We are only the provider of a virtual community for you, and you are the main column of this website.
I want to say thanks gain to all users that support us to be live. special thanks to our moderating team that works 7/24 hours on CivilEA, they spend valuable time here free to help others.
As always, we love hearing your feedback (good and bad) about site content and what sustainability questions you have. Keep sending your tips, news and comments to us.
Thanks for reading and here’s to making CivilEA forum even better.
We have special gifts for you on 4th birthday of CivilEA (Special discount to join CivilEA, Special product and news.
Discontinuous Galerkin Methods: Theory, Compuration and Applications
Author: Bernardo Cockburn, George E. Karniadakis, Chi-Wang Shu | Size: 4.5 MB | Format:DjVu | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2000-05-15 | pages: 480 | ISBN: 3540667873
This volume contains current progress of a new class of finite element method, the Discontinuous Galerkin Method (DGM), which has been under rapid developments recently and has found its use very quickly in such diverse applications as aeroacoustics, semi-conductor device simulation, turbomachinery, turbulent flows, materials processing, Magneto-hydro-dynamics, plasma simulations and image processing. While there has been a lot of interest in DGM from mathematicians, physicists and engineers, only scattered information is available and there has been no prior effort in organizing and publishing the existing volume of knowledge on this subject. The current volume organizes this knowledge and it covers both theoretical as well as practical issues of the Discontinuous Galerkin method.

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.
