Elaborately conceived, grandly constructed insane asylums—ranging in appearance from classical temples to Gothic castles—were once a common sight looming on the outskirts of American towns and cities. Many of these buildings were razed long ago, and those that remain stand as grim reminders of an often cruel system. For much of the nineteenth century, however, these asylums epitomized the widely held belief among doctors and social reformers that insanity was a curable disease and that environment—architecture in particular—was the most effective means of treatment.
In The Architecture of Madness, Carla Yanni tells a compelling story of therapeutic design, from America’s earliest purpose—built institutions for the insane to the asylum construction frenzy in the second half of the century. At the center of Yanni’s inquiry is Dr. Thomas Kirkbride, a Pennsylvania-born Quaker, who in the 1840s devised a novel way to house the mentally diseased that emphasized segregation by severity of illness, ease of treatment and surveillance, and ventilation. After the Civil War, American architects designed Kirkbride-plan hospitals across the country.
Before the end of the century, interest in the Kirkbride plan had begun to decline. Many of the asylums had deteriorated into human warehouses, strengthening arguments against the monolithic structures advocated by Kirkbride. At the same time, the medical profession began embracing a more neurological approach to mental disease that considered architecture as largely irrelevant to its treatment.

Dear All,
Warning against AutoCAD Viruses around the world!
It is high time to make a check for AutoCAD Viruses - for FREE!
Your PC might be an unintentional contributor spreading
viruses to countless PC users.
Currently, this program can diagnose and cure 60 kinds of AutoCAD viruses.
But this Application runs at trial, you can Scan but cannot Cure,
anyone can help this for medicine?

1. The screen does not work for around 5~30 minutes before it is activated when you initially execute CAD and open a drawing.
2. When you set the SDI system variable as 0, it will be back to be 1, which causes the CAD program to be multiply executed in opening a drawing.
3. The CAD command window shows you the following error prompt (In the English version)
* AutoCAD menu utilities loaded.; error: malformed list on input
* AutoCAD menu utilities loaded.; error: bad argument type: stringp nil
* AutoCAD menu utilities loaded.; error: bad character read (octal): 35
* ;error : LOAD Failed : "acad"
* ;error : LOAD Failed : "acaddoc"
* ;error : LOAD Failed : "acadapq"
* ;error : LOAD Failed : "acadapp"
* ;error : Macro not found.
* ;error: Function cancelled.
4. The LSP command you made does not work properly (acad.lsp acaddoc.lsp, etc.).
5. When you execute such commands as Line, Explode, Burst, Xbind, Xref and attedit, the screen reacts with the "Unknown command" message or asks you for inconsistent inputs.
6. Every folder whose drawing is open newly has the following files:
*acad.lsp
*acaddoc.lsp
*acadapp.lsp
*acadapq.lsp
*acadiso.lsp
*acaddoc.fas
*acad.vlx
*acad.sys
*acad.reg
*boot.bat
May this warning help us from trouble when pursue a deadline!
Peace for All

The "journals, papers and presentations" section has two caracteristics now. The positive one: it has a lot of material, either unique or related to important research, or both. The negative one: it is a mess, as a lot of information is just scrambled with no easy/straight direction toward it.
I assume that organizing that section will be a gigantic task, but maybe we can start with a few steps. Here´s one proposal for possible discussion/review:
As there is now a section for ACI and EERI, for example, let´s open a number of new subsections: AISC, IABSE, ASCE (different journals), UBC Library, MCEER Library, and so on... This would be the first step, and the result would be that at least, if we needed an specific research paper, we could head to the organization/institute we are interested in. This would only apply now for any new post.
The second stage, and the difficult one, would be to organize both the new posts in each subsection, and all the existing ones till this date. Ideally, all papers would end up organized by date of publication and (hopefully) according to the volume they belong to.
I clearly understand the complexities of this, but in my opinion it might be useful to give it at least a thorough review.
ACI 224R-01 - Control of Cracking in Concrete Structures
Author: Reported by ACI Committee 224 | Size: 0.74 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: American Concrete Institute | Year: May 16, 2001 | pages: 46
The principal causes of cracking and recommended crack-control procedures are presented. The current state of knowledge in microcracking and fracture of concrete is reviewed. The control of cracking due to drying shrinkage and crack control in flexural members, overlays, and mass concrete construction are covered in detail. Long-term effects on cracking are considered and crack-control procedures used in construction are presented.
Information is presented to assist in the development of practical and effective crack-control programs for concrete structures. Extensive references are provided.
