Steel Design book covers the fundamentals of structural steel design with an emphasis on the design of members and their connections, rather than the integrated design of buildings. Not only is Steel Design a revision of LRFD Steel Design, it also encompasses the 2005 unification of LRFD and ASD as is covered in the Steel Construction Manual. The book is designed so that instructors can easily teach either LRFD or ASD, or both, time-permitting, as the differences in the two approaches are mostly conceptual. The application of fundamental principles is encouraged for design procedures as well as for practical design, but so is a theoretical approach, enhancing the students development. While the book is intended for junior-and senior-level engineering students, some of the later chapters can be used in graduate courses. Due to the changes that were made to many provisions of the Steel Construction Manual, practicing engineers will find this text useful in reviewing current practices and it will be an essential reference tool.

SVSlope represents the new standard in slope stability analysis. Users can perform classic limit equilibrium slope analysis by the method of slices or newer stress-based methods. Advanced searching methods are implemented in order to correctly determine the correct location of the critical slip surface.

SVSlope is characterized by an advanced probability analysis as well as integration with other packages in SVOffice. The streamlined user interface and advanced slip surface searching algorithms make for fast model setup and computation times.

We have put extensive effort into verifying SVSlope against classic case-study scenarios and existing slope stability software packages. This allows users to be confident that results from SVSlope are correct.

SVSlope is currently being used on world-class slope stability projects. Top slope stability industry experts already support the use of SVSlope as the new standard in slope stability modeling.

FastTracker® is an innovative geologic modeling system built around the revolutionary UpdateAbility concept. FastTracker automatically tracks everything you do in the course of building your geologic model, and can rebuild the model in minutes when you change or add inputs, or change any parameter.

Underlying every reservoir model is FastTracker’s software architecture based on the unique UpdateAbility concept. As the workflow is built, FastTracker automatically records and do*****ents the steps so that a complete history of the workflow is available at every stage of the project. Every petrotechnical item in the project (e.g. surface, 3D mesh or porosity model) “knows” its place in the workflow. It knows what went into its creation and what other items later in the workflow depend on it.

Architects’ models serve as bridge between an idea and its realization. Models are one of the three means by which an architect invents and develops his design: sketch–model–computer model. No other representational form is as effective in enabling the viewer to perceive the spaces, shapes, surfaces and textures created by the architect’s design — it is therefore a prerequisite in the design process. Architectural Models provides clear and comprehensible instruction explaining how design ideas can be skillfully translated into models.

Some 200 black and white illustrations and, new to this edition, more than 40 extraordinary, full color photographs, provide a comprehensive visual explication of the text. In this completely revised edition, the authors convey practical basics and offer a wealth of innovative and valuable suggestions for students of architecture or graphic arts, as well as for experienced architectural model makers.

The International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering is a quarterly publication of peer-reviewed original papers, technical notes, and book reviews by international scholars covering all topics of geotechnical engineering. The aim of the Journal is to provide high quality papers on recent research and developments that will be important contributions to the literature and to the profession.

Papers from all areas of geotechnical engineering are invited, and practical applications of geotechnical engineering research are particularly of interest. All the papers in the Journal have been refereed by the Editor-in-Chief and anonymous peer reviewers. The following topics will be covered:

Help civil engineering leaders develop ways to grow the profession to tackle the nation's ever-expanding infrastructure challenges. ASCE is gearing up for an exciting annual conference in Pittsburgh, November 6 to 8, devoted to seeking solutions to these 21st-century issues. Whether you're a seasoned professional, an educator, or a student embarking on a career in civil engineering, you'll find much to gain from. Expand your industry knowledge at track sessions on tackling challenges in staffing engineering disciplines, managing risk and developing leadership skills. Short courses, technical tours, evening networking receptions, the ASCE Annual Business Meeting, and ASCE's first-ever CareerZone are just a few of the other dynamic events you won't want to miss.

The 11th Baltic Sea Geotechnical Conference is devoted to onshore and offshore maritime engineering. These activities are still developing rapidly all over the world. Construction problems always occur in association with complexities related to geotechnical conditions. Geotechnical design in maritime engineering requires knowledge of many aspects of soil-structure interaction as well as the behaviour of different types of soils. Years of practice by individual engineers and researchers in this discipline has produced a great deal of valuable knowledge. Therefore it is very important to exchange such experiences at an international level.

The first meeting of the 17th ICSMGE Conference Advisory Committee (CAC) was held in Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt on 18-19 November 2006. Members of the Conference Organizing Committee (COC), chaired by Dr. Mamdouh Hamza, welcomed to Egypt Prof. Pedro Sêco e Pinto, President of the ISSMGE, Professor Mounir Bouassida, ISSMGE Vice President for the African Region, Professor William Van Impe, Immediate Past President of the ISSMGE, Professor R. N. Taylor, Secretary-General of the ISSMGE, and Dr. Masahi Kamon, Professor of Environmental Geotechnics at Kyoto University and Secretary-General of the Organizing Committee for the 16th ICSMGE held in Osaka, Japan in 2005.

The Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS), the Canadian National Chapter of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH-CNC), and the Geotechnical Society of Edmonton invite you to join us in Edmonton at the 61st Canadian Geotechnical Conference and the 9th Joint CGS/IAH-CNC Groundwater Conference.
