    Structural Engineer Newsletter Issue #31
    A monthly publication of TheStructuralEngineer.info - Center for Integrating Information on Structural Engineering
    January 2010

    Greetings,

    We are pleased to circulate the 31st issue of the Structural Engineer Newsletter, the first of issue published in 2010.

    We hope you will find valuable the resources and contents included in this newsletter and we want to encourage you to participate in shaping the newsletter's content, by keeping us posted of resources and news.

    We are also in the progress of renovating some of our databases and we look forward announcing these upgrades in the near future.
