    Structural Engineer Newsletter Issue #23
    A monthly publication of TheStructuralEngineer.info - Center for Integrating Information on Structural Engineering
    May 2009

    Greetings,

    May's newsletter has a lot of information that we hope you'll find useful! TheStructuralEngineer.info has plans underway to expand its content, tools and resources. Your participation is an integral part to the success of the website, which is for the Structural Engineer website to be the premier provider of free tools, information and resources in structural engineering internationally.

    You can play an active role in this effort by either contributing your own material and thus increasing the content of the website or with your financial assistance. As you are aware, we solely rely on the revenue we generate through sponsors and the generous support of people like you to sustain the growth of our website. Your contribution will support our mission and assist us in financing the creation of additional tools and resources and help us cover some of our operational costs used for research, development and maintenance of our site. Please consider having your company sponsor us, or making an individual donation.

    As always, we appreciate your feedback.
