    Structural Engineer Newsletter Issue #26
    A monthly publication of TheStructuralEngineer.info - Center for Integrating Information on Structural Engineering
    August 2009

    Greetings,

    It is our pleasure to welcome you to the August issue of our Newsletter. It has now been more than two years since the first issue of TheStructuralEngineer.info Newsletter was sent out, and we are very excited that we have been able to share all this information with you, our readers.Currently, the readers of this newsletter are approaching 3,000 individuals!

    We promise that we will continue to deliver more informational materials to keep you informed. Soon, we will also introduce some other innovative services, including the reconstruction of the main page of our website.

    In this current issue, you can find again many interesting resources in the Online Library Section, which has grown steadily and now includes more than 1,300 selected papers available at no cost.

    As always, you can participate in this newsletter by sharing your thoughts, resources, or any of the information with us. We are looking forward to all of your prospective contributions!

    Until next month
