The emergence of metaheuristic algorithms has significantly improved the ways in which engineers and researchers carry out computations in structural mechanics.
The first change was in structural design: the use of metaheuristic algorithms enabled the optimization of structures with a number of key parameters and constraints, including those with nonlinearities and multiple objectives. The second improvement – also centered on optimization – came within the field of structural analysis, and concerned total potential energy. Furthermore, certain problems within structural analysis which had previously been unsolvable, such as structures with ill-conditioned stiffness matrices, those with all types of constraints and nonlinearities, those with multiple equilibrium configurations, and even under-constrained structures, were now within the reach of researchers and engineers.
This book uses historical context to clearly present the state-of-the-art of both structural design and structural analysis with carefully chosen examples from the literature. The book concludes by addressing the fact that there is still important work to be done within these fields.

The objective of the 2nd Edition of these guidelines is to improve the quality of the traffic information that supports decisions at all levels of the transportation profession. Traffic data programs are essential for State Departments of Transportation to accomplish their mission of ensuring safety and mobility to the traveling public. Traffic data supports capital investment programs and budgets, as well as effective design and maintenance programs. This document is a reference for professional traffic monitoring and establishes recommended national traffic monitoring practices that reflect current practice and advances made in the past several years. Since publication of the 1st Edition of the guidelines in 1992, many advances have been made in traffic monitoring procedures, and updated editions of the TMG were published in 1994 and 2001. The guidebook is intended for use by state and local transportation agencies, as well as others involved in traffic data programs.

Description:
This 13th Edition of the AASHTO Provisional Standards contains a complete set of 41 provisional materials specifications and test methods. All Provisional Standards are approved for publication by the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee on Materials. Provisional Standards are standards which have been adopted by the Highway Subcommittee on Materials on a temporary basis for a maximum of eight years. A chronology of the year-to-year status of the Provisional Standards during the past eight years is included. At any time during the eight-year period, the Subcommittee can ballot to convert a Provisional Standard into a Full Standard. The Subcommittee, so far, has converted 58 Provisional Standards into Full Standards. These Standards are now regularly published in the AASHTO Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing.
