Greetings,
We hope that
you will enjoy the 51st issue of our Newsletter, which provides you
access to many new structural engineering resources. We have added
several new papers to our online library, some of which you can see
below.
As our Center
is growing, we are keen to undertaking new initiatives and
activities. We, thus, encourage you to share with us any ideas or
resources we could include in our website. This feedback helps us
continue improving the content of our website and its value to you.
Until next month,
