The background and development of Section II. 16, Special Provisions for Walls, of the ACI
Building Code (ACI 318-71 ) is discussed.
These provisions were found to predict satisfactorily the strength of six high-rise and seven low-rise shearwalls tested at the laboratories of the Portland Cement Association, as well as the strength of wall specimens tested by other investigators.The results of the PCA experimental investigations are summarized in an Appendix. Thirteen rectangular shear walls were tested under combinations of lateral and axial loads. One of the specimens was subjected to ten cycles of load reversals.

Provides information and current best practice on the design and construction of reinforced concrete flat slabs in accordance with Eurocode 2 and the National Structural Concrete Specification. It is intended for use by designers (both of the permanent and temporary works) who already have basic understanding of structural behaviour. The scope includes flat slabs with orthogonal and irregular layouts of columns, plain soffits, waffle slabs, voided slabs and slabs with edge beams, although it should be noted that solid flat slabs with a flat soffit are the most popular. This Report does not cover the design of post-tensioned slabs, for which reference should be made to the Concrete Society Technical Report No. 43 April 2007 101 pages

Many users are confused by the term Software Problems.
To make everyone life easier my suggestion is to rename:
Software Problems
to
Software Installation Problems & Bugs
While observing users behavior I discovered that:
- many of them try to place in the appropriate section of the Software Problems thread their request for engineering help (how to use software). e.g. One doesn't know how to define a frame is sap2000 so he asks in CSI Problems thread.
- many don't read the warnings placed everywhere regarding the purpose of Software Problems section (BennyP has most of them everywhere)
- many get warnings and explanations but they somehow forget
If possible to rename I believe this change will make a difference.

These lecture notes are based on some lectures given in 1980. The object of the lectures was to construct a projective moduli space for stable curves of genus greater than or equal two using Mumford's geometric invariant theory.

The symposium focused on novel applications of methods from the calculus of variations to the solid mechanics of materials, including the development of new material models as well as the advancement of the corresponding computational techniques. Specific emphasis was put on the treatment of materials posessing an inherent microstructure and thus exhibiting a behavior which fundamentally involves multiple scales. Among the topic treated in this volume are: Energy-based modeling of material microstructures; modeling of the evolution of material microstructures; micromechanical modeling of shape-memory alloys; variational multiscale methods and associated numerical procedures; and micromechanics of multifield and multiphysics problems.

Solid mechanics is a basic course taught to all engineering students in their first year itself. By going through this course, students develop analytical skill like applying laws of mechanics to engineering problems, splitting big practical problems into a number of smaller ones and solving them maintaining the continuity with each other. The theories involved are explained clearly through a number of solved problems with neat free body diagrams, wherever required. All problems are solved systematically without skipping any step to make procedure clear. SI units and the standard notations as suggested by is code are used throughout. The book is written as per the latest syllabus of Gujarat Technical University.

To design a structure or component one must carefully consider the intimate relationship between how the component is supposed to perform and the properties of the material from which it is made. This can be a tricky balancing act, even with isotropic, homogeneous materials.
By their very nature, composite materials can present complex problems in the testing of their structural performance. Focusing on composites of advanced fibres in a plastic matrix, Mechanical Testing of Advanced Fibre Composites provides the background and general principles to tackle such problems. Expert contributors examine how these materials react to all types of loading, including tensile, compressive, shear, short- or long-term, and in various environments that might significantly modify their behavior. They explore sample preparation for testing, address tensile, flexural, compression, shear, impact, and out-of-plane testing, and discuss fatigue and fracture mechanics.
Bringing together a wide range of test methods applicable across the spectrum of composite materials, Mechanical Testing of Advanced Fibre Composites forms a practical handbook full of expert analysis. Materials scientists, engineers, and designers will all find it a valuable tool in understanding and using composites in creating structures that perform within their design requirements.

This book covers the basics of the engineering fluid mechanics without delving into deeper more mathematical concepts. Building from most basic concepts such as physical properties of fluids, the book covers the topics in fluid statics and dynamics. Hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy and forces on immersed bodies are discussed under fluid statics.
Under fluid dynamics, Bernoulli’s principle is introduced. Furthermore, the nature of fluid flows is discussed in engineering context. Laminar and turbulent flows in pipes are explained in detail.
Finally hydraulic design is discussed paying attention to pump capacity calculations.
This textbook is levelled at first year undergraduate students.
A good knowledge of Fluid mechanics is essential for Chemical, Mechanical and Civil engineers. As a result it is taught at a very early stage in degree courses on those disciplines.
