Add "Theory of Matrix Structural Analysis" by J. S. Przemieniecki to your list.

Edward A. L. Smith wrote several papers on the dynamic analysis of piles. I am looking for biographical information on Smith. When was he born? Where did he work? What professional societies was he a member of? Is he still living?

The handbook covers base shear. There is another reference: Guidelines for the Design of Buried Steel Pipe Published by: American Lifelines Alliance (ALA)and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Section 11 of the Guideline covers Earthquake...

Handbook of Concrete Egineering Edited by Mark Fintel Van Nostrand Reinhold Company 1974 Section 6.9, page 170, Fatigue of Concrete Section 22.4.5, page 646, Fatigue Thees sections discuss fatigue. They include S-N curves, Goodman diagrams and also recommend a limit of 50% of the modulus of...

Knowing how fatigue life goes down as stress level goes up and knowing that in some cases the stress was twice the allowable, it is hard to understand how the bridge remained standing for 40 years.

The following are three usefull references for future use: Analysis of Plates and Shells Philip L. Gould Prentice Hall, 1999 Beams, Plates and Shells Lloyd Hamilton Donnell McGraw-Hill, 1976 Analysis of Plstes David McFarland Bert L. Smith Walter D. Bernhart Spartan Books, 1972

See "Guidelines for the Design of Buried Steel Pipe". published by American Lifelines Alliancs and ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers. If you Google the title, you will find the publication available in PDF format on line. You can download it.

I would call "A Manual of Civil Engineering" by Rankine a Classic.

fattdad thanks. Your post covered exactly what I needed.

I have a need for the range of Young's Modulus (E), Poisson's Ratio (u) and Shear Modulus (G) for Shale.

The original article by Ramberg & Osgood "Stress-Strain Curve by Three Parameters" can be downloaded from NACA. Google: NACA TN-902 1943 Go to the first web site and enter: TN-902 You will see the title and can download the pdf file.

A very good reference covering all aspects of your questions can be found in: Belt Conveyors for Bulk Materials. Published by the Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association.
