Foundation Analysis and Design Disk

Foundation Analysis and Design Disk

Foundation Analysis and Design Disk

(OP)
I purchased Foundation Analysis and Design 5thed by Joseph E. Bowles.  I also got the 1.44 diskette that comes with it.  I want to try it out, but my computer doesn't have a floppy drive.  Does anyone know where there's a downloadable version on the net?  Or, does Bowles have an email address where I can contact him for a soft copy?

RE: Foundation Analysis and Design Disk

Those little programs are a pain in the head and are DOS based.  You rather look for additional sources.

RE: Foundation Analysis and Design Disk

Joseph Bowles died about 2 years ago, on July 13th.  He's not returning calls or e-mails.

Really 2 years ago? Is he still dead?

Gimbli, believe it or not, I have been forced to learn some of these DOS programs because my school is too cheap to acquire licenses for Windows based programs.  I know ShakePRO is out there, but nobody's really big into geotechnical earthquake engineering at NJIT.

I was not a good computer programmer but I was able to learn a little Fortran Finite Element Analysis along with STAAD Pro. It's all good.

HSNIC,

I think I have that book(and disk) I will check tonight.
