Dear All,
I'm looking for these two articles and would be approciated if you can share it with us. The paper details are as follows:

i want this code and specially the chapter 21 of it for special provisions for seismic design . i searched on the net but i could not find the complete code that has been had all chapters .
(i saw one that had only 15 chapter)
if you have this code that specially has the chapter 21 please upload here .and be preferably metric (BASE ON SI )

Designing optimal multiple tuned mass dampers using genetic algorithms (GAs) for mitigating theseismic response of structures
Journal of Vibration and Control published online 21 February 2012

Abstract:
In this paper an effective method has been proposed for designing optimal multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) to mitigate the seismic response of structures based on defining an optimization problem which considers the parameters of tuned mass dampers (TMDs) as variables and minimization of maximum structural response as an objective function while a number of constraints have been applied on TMDs response and parameters. The genetic algorithm (GA) has been used successfully for solving the optimization problem. For illustration, for a ten-story linear shear frame subjected to a filtered white noise excitation optimal MTMDs have been designed. The results have shown the simplicity and convergence behavior of the method. It has also been concluded that the performance of MTMDs depends on TMDs mass ratio, TMDs configuration and design criteria where increasing the TMDs mass ratio has improved monotonously the performance of MTMDs especially for the domain of smaller values of the mass ratio, while for this case study the number of TMDs has not been more effective. Testing the optimal MTMDs under near-field and far-field earthquakes shows that the performance of MTMDs has been influenced by input excitation. The capability of the method in considering the effect of higher modes has been shown.

Two of the objectives of 2001-2005 Technical Committee 1 “Offshore and Nearshore Geotechnical Engineering” of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) were:
− Provide support to ISSMGE member countries requesting dissemination of offshore/nearshore geotechnical expertise from other countries.
− Prepare documentation that gives practical information on executing nearshore and/or offshore geotechnical projects.
In view of these objectives, Technical Committee 1 (TC1) members agreed that industry would be served with a handbook giving an inventory of geotechnical and geophysical data acquisition techniques for characterising offshore and nearshore soil conditions. This should include recommended planning schedules for offshore and nearshore projects. Thus, TC1 members supported by numerous other colleagues prepared this handbook and made this available to attendees of the two September 2005 Geotechnical Conferences:
− 16th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ICSMGE) in Osaka,
Japan.
− International Symposium on Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics (ISFOG) in Perth, Australia.
This handbook was also published on the web site of the ISSMGE at about the same time.

Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by the scale of the foundation and anchoring elements used offshore, and partly by fundamental differences in construction and installation techniques. As a consequence offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a speciality.
The structure of Offshore Geotechnical Engineering follows a pattern that mimics the flow of a typical offshore project. In the early chapters it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems. Three topics are then covered which require a more multi-disciplinary approach: the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines and geohazards.
