About the Author
Charles Ward Harris, FASLA is a professor of landscape architecture emeritus at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. During his over 30 years of teaching at Harvard he was the Chairman of his Department for ten years and for seven years Director of the LA Research Office. His teaching and research activities covered a wide range of topics: regional landscape planning and design, land and project development, landscape construction and site engineering, and design education.
Before, during, and since his many years of academic teaching, administration, and research he worked in the professional offices of such well-known landscape architects as John and Philip Simonds, Hideo Sasaki and Peter Walker, Richard Dober, and Lawrence Walquist. In addition he worked for two and a half years with The Architect's Collaborative on the planning of a new campus for the University of Baghdad. Walter Gropious was the senior principle in charge. His professional work has spanned campus planning and design, personal rapid transit (PRT) system planning and design, housing and large scale of land development in the US, the Middle East, and North and Central America. In all of his past and present teaching and professional activities he has sought collaborative opportunities to bring together people to work on projects that are socially responsible, environmentally sensitive, economically sound, and aesthetically pleasing. He holds two bachelors degrees from the University of Illinois: one in landscape architecture and one in landscape operations (construction and contracting). He also has a Master of Education degree from Harvard University. His home is in Watertown, Massachusetts.
Nicholas T. Dines, FASLA, is a professor of landscape architecture and serves as graduate MLA program director at the University of Massachusetts where for over 28 years he has taught courses in site engineering, structures, design studio, design drawing, design theory, and professional practice. He is the author of two other McGraw-Hill publications, Landscape Perspective Drawing, and the recently released, Time-Saver Standards for Landscape Construction Details CD.He has over 32 years of professional experience, including a 10-year period of work on residential and recreational design projects in Greece. He currently is conducting research in multi-media applications to both professional and academic design and planning practices, with a special focus on site construction and sustainable design. He has a bachelors degree from Michigan State University, and an MLA degree from Harvard University. His home is in Williamsburg, Massachusetts.
Can anybody here had a copy of the book published by ASCE entitled "A Simplified Design Procedure for Precast Prestressed Concrete Piling in Areas of High Seismicity to Include the Effects of Pile Buckling"???

The LESSLOSS Project has come to a successful conclusion. In order to meet the objectives of the project, a large variety of research activities have been carried out by all 46 partners during the three years of the project, including state-of-the-art methodology reviews, data collection, constitutive modelling, analytical modelling, manufacturing of prototypes, laboratory testing, experimental testing, structural monitoing, software development, methodology calibration, loss modelling, and much more. The Publishable Final Activity Report provides a summary of these activities, whilst the 169 deliverables produced during the project can be found here.
One of the main objectives of the project was to describe the current best practice or usual practice in each area investigated. To meet this objective, during the third and final year of the project, the LESSLOSS partners produced a series of 8 Technical Reports addressed to specific Users Communities and Stakeholders. These Technical Reports can be directly downloaded by clicking on the titles below:

I will greatly appreciate if anyone has a pdf copy of:
Crowley, H., Pinho, R., Bommer, J.J. and Bird, J.F. “Development of a displacement-based earthquake loss assessment methodology,” ROSE Report 2006/01, IUSS Press, Pavia, Italy.
It is known that flexibility of foundation usually is accompanied with lengthening of the fundamental period of soil-structure system and an increase in the damping. Using typical code spectra, this may lead always to a reduction in the spectral acceleration and consequently, lower seismic demands for the superstructure. As recent findings have revealed, this may not be the case for some soil sites and under some specific earthquakes with particular properties (like particular frequency content).The objectives of this dissertation are to investigate the overall response of existing and retrofitted buildings modelled on flexible foundation, and hence to evaluate the soil structure interaction effects on the structural response albeit through the use of relatively simple soil models.

From this study, telecommunication systems are found to be very vulnerable to seismic-induced congestion. The electric power interdependencies amplify the degradation in telecommunication systems up to 50% in their vulnerability while electric power operations are heavily dependent upon telecommunication infrastructures and the fragility median of electric power system observability can decrease by 30%. The study also indicates up to 100% overestimation of the independent fragility analysis and the results reveal the relationship between system topology and the sensitivity of system performance to the intensity of interdependencies. The proposed methodology is expected to be a valuable tool for decision making in evaluating seismic mitigation strategies and also to provide the foundation for future studies on interdependent responses of other critical infrastructures.[/size]
