Earthquake Engineering: Theory and Implementation is divided into three parts, each with a specific focus on earthquake related structures. Coverage includes the nature of earthquakes and their dynamic effects on structures, as well as the behavior of structures under seismic excitations, the design aspects of earthquake-resistant structures (both buildings and bridges) within the scope of seismic provisions of the latest modern and popular codes in their areas such as IBC, ACI, AISC, and AASHTO, and special topics pertinent to the safety of structures under seismic excitations such as geotechnical aspects, foundations, synthetic earthquakes, and seismic isolation.
Written by Dr. Nazzal Armouti, this textbook is a result of a quarter century of experience of the author in the field of Civil Engineering and reflects the state of the art in Earthquake Engineering in its modern form. The book's discussion of theoretical as well as practical sides of the subjects will benefit graduate and advanced undergraduate level students. The text is supplemented by illustrations and examples that make it easy to follow the concepts and better comprehend earthquake effects on structures.

Dear all,
I've putted this request here because I think that here is his place, rather than in "free discussion".
I was wondering if someone knows any paper that talks about sample dimension for testing in triaxial apparatus, it's minimal dimensions and scale effect.
I know what are dimensions of sample for clays and sands, but for gravels I think that the dimensions are small.
Best regards
freequo
Founded in 2001,THE PLAN – Architecture & Technologies in Detail, is published by Centauro Edizioni, Bologna (Italy). Today, with 8 issues released every year (6 regular and 2 special issues), THE PLAN is one of the most acclaimed architecture and design reviews on the market. Thanks to its strongly international approach, is in fact among the most widely distributed and read magazines in Italy and worldwide, with an important readership of professionals from the sectors of architecture, design, building and real estate as well as universities.

hey im looking for an undergraduate thesis related to reinforced concrete..i would appreciate if anyone could post any thesis regarding reinforced concrete, it could be a comparative study or anything related
may thnx in advance
Colection of Articles on Earthquake Disaster Prevention and Post-Disaster Response
CONTENT OF THIS THREAD
In this Thread a number of articles related to Earthquake Disaster Prevention and Post-Disaster Response will be posted. They were mostly published on conference proceedings and some rare books; some others were published in well-known journals, but are not listed in a particular journal thread as they are rather disperse.
These papers are made available for the Earthquake and Emergency-Response Researcher.

NIST GCR 10-917-8: Evaluation of the FEMA P-695 Methodology
Author: NEHRP Consultants Joint Venture A partnership of the Applied Technology Council and the Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering | Size: 3.06 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: NIST | Year: November 2010 | pages: 268 | ISBN: N.A.
NIST GCR 10-917-8: Evaluation of the FEMA P-695 Methodology
for Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors
This work was an extension of work conducted under the ATC-63 Project, funded by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which resulted in the
publication of the FEMA P-695 report, Quantification of Building Seismic
Performance Factors (FEMA 2009). The FEMA P-695 report outlines a procedural
methodology for reliably quantifying seismic performance factors, including the
response modification coefficient (R factor), the system overstrength factor (), and
the deflection amplification factor (Cd). While the ATC-63 Project included testing
of the Methodology on selected systems (e.g., special and ordinary reinforced
concrete moment frames and wood light-frame structural panel shear walls), the
purpose of this NIST project was to expand the testing of the Methodology to
additional seismic force-resisting systems.

Windows Virtual PC (VPC) is a new version of Microsoft Virtual PC virtualization software designed specifically for Windows 7. By installing Windows Virtual PC, user can run more than one guest operating systems at the same time inside the virtual machines, or many productivity applications on a virtual Windows environment via RemoteApp, where Windows Virtual PC virtualizes its standard PC and associated hardware.
Together with Windows Virtual PC, Microsoft also releases Windows XP Mode, a virtual machine package for Windows Virtual PC containing a pre-installed, licensed copy of Windows XP SP3 as its guest operating system. Windows XP Mode is pre-installed with integration components and pre-configured to allow user to run the virtual machine immediately right after installed, to provide backward compatibility for legacy productivity software with seamless access from host desktop capability.
While Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode have leaked earlier, Microsoft has officially released Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode as final RTM version for public download, in conjuction with the official public release of Windows 7. Both Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode is available for download from official Windows Virtual PC homepage from Microsoft Download Center (Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode).
