Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of any bridge design software programs, especially those which deal with design of structural members?
I can pull down lists and links of software from the Internet, which is a start, but I'm looking for more evaluative information.
Thanks for any help,

Our librarian Betty Lou Hicks forwarded your message to me. I am a
structural engineer and can tell you a little about what we use for
structural analysis.
For general structural analysis and design we use RISA 3-D by Risa
Technologies. For bridge girder design/analysis we use Merlin-Dash or
MDX.
Other general structural packages that are very good are STAAD-PRO and
SAP 9000.
Hope you find this useful

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="=====================_376635873==.ALT"
Fellow TRANLIBers,
As we all deal with overflowing In boxes, remember some guidelines to make use of the TRANLIB discussion list a better experience for everyone:
Does Everyone Need to Read This? - If you decide to REPLY to a message, before you hit the "Send" button, always ask yourself, "Do I want to reply to the entire list, or just the sender?" Very often it's only the sender; don't inundate everyone if only one person needs to see your reply.
And if you slip (aka, "pull a Nelda"), don't compound the error by sending everyone an apology -- we know what you did, and dealing with a second message is just twice as annoying.
Items to Give Away - If you've got duplicate or other items you want to give away, put a line at the top of your message, "Reply to me directly off-list:" followed by your email address so responders don't have to look for it. While it may make sense to let everyone know when the freebies have all been given away, we don't all need to see who's asking for what.
Responding to Requests - If you can supply an answer or an item, reply directly to the requester, not to the list.
Subject Lines - We all enjoy a little mystery in our lives, but subject headings such as "ILL Request," "Help!" "References," and "Need Assistance" are unnecessarily obtuse. Be brief, but be descriptive. "Looking for ASTM B 6-00," or "Help! re 1961 Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads," are both much more useful than generic subjects.
Thank you for your cooperation.
And thanks to Rita Evans, UC-Berkeley/TD Secretary-Treasurer for text.

We used to subscribe to two serials put out by John A. Dash &
Associates:
Rail operators' top hourly wage rates
Full-time bus operators' top hourly wage rates
We have resubscribed but won't receive an issue for a couple of weeks
while they process our order. My boss needs to see a recent copy
right away and I tried OCLC but couldn't find them. Does anyone get
this who could fax or mail us a recent one?

Dear Seyem,
Thanks for your reminder.
I have looked at the link you have to Elsevier as a Sponsor of the SLA TD.
NB we are no longer Elsevier Science, just plain "Elsevier" these days.
Also, while the link you have to our main catalogue page is fine, perhaps it
would be more helpful to TD members to link to the Transportation and/or the
Library & Information Science sec

I'm looking for ASTM A305 from 1959 or 1960. I have a 1953 T version from "ASTM Standards in Building Codes" dated 1955 but I need the version from 1959 or 1960. If you have the individual volumes from the early years , it might be in volume 4 (or 1, 2, or 3).
A305 is titled Specification for Minimum Requirements for the Deformations of Deformed Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement .
I can submit an ALA form and pay a fee.

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=__Part2300709E.0__="
SLA is strongly recommending that all non-Canadians carry a passport with them for crossing into Canada. When asked, you are a conference attendee/delegate, even if you are also a speaker; just say attendee or delegate. Also, when asked for your job title, say librarian, even if you are officially something other than that, i.e. Knowledge Manager, Web Manager, etc. This will make your crossing much faster and less stressful. Customs Officers understand Librarian, not Knowledge Manager. SLA has an official letter from Canada Customs acknowledging that they are aware of the conference. If you would feel more secure carrying this letter with you as you pass through Customs, please contact SLA and they will send you a copy. Canada Customs is usually pretty easy about conference attendees crossing into Canada so you probably won't have any problems. These suggestions are just to make it as smooth as possible for you.
Also, if you are bringing across any conference material ( such as session handouts) be sure to declare them as 'zero value' - you'll have a much easier time.

Good afternoon-
MaineDOT is putting together a committee to consider management of its
digital assets. Somehow I landed on the committee, which makes me anxious
to find out what others out there are doing about this problem, if anything.
We are concerned about the many pictures being taken with digital cameras,
as well as about items stored in all kinds of different places on our
servers, such as our bike map book, things in pdf format, newsletters,
brochures, audio-visual products, powerpoints, logos, graphics, etc., etc.
Lots of materials, lots of chaos...so we are looking for a way to
consolidate information about these assets and eventually to provide
searchable access for our departmental community.
Have organizations out there tackled this, especially other DOTs? Any
direction or discussion would be useful. And I'm curious about the
involvement of other librarians with this kind of thing.
Thanks-

...George has developed an online media library cataloging tool that might
be of great use to us with all the digital images and other electronic
resources we have and continue to accumulate. The idea is to upload images
and other resources with keywords and brief descriptions that can later be
used to search for them. Experts can add additional information to the
resources for other use. George has a sample on the UW web. What we need
to have this here in the lab is a SQL Server database and plenty of storage
which we will have soon for the WebWSPMS deployment. Interestingly, there
is an article in the latest WST2 Newsletter
http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/TA/T2Center/T2Bulletin-archives/2003-04winter.pdf
that talks big of a similar tool (Page 27) and George has quietly developed
one already.

Yesterday I had mentioned the online media library that I put together for
USDOT. I think this could be very useful in organizing pavement photos,
creating a pavement distress collection, or for personal use. Anyway I just
wanted to pass the link along to you so you could check it out. The beta
site is at http://asphalt.ce.washington.edu/MediaLibrary. It currently
contains a lot of Scott's images, PowerPoint slides and video. In order to
use the upload feature you have to log in... Let me know what you think.

The Strathcona is quite close to the centre. So is the Royal York but it's expensive. The Hilton Toronto is also reasonably close - it's just down the street from me on Richmond and the Sheraton Centre is also within stomping distance but a block further away across from city hall on Queen Street.

Good morning, all - I've received a copy of The Grey House Transportation Security Directory & Handbook to review for 30 days. The price tag is hefty by the standards of my budget, at $195. I checked FirstSearch to see who else owns this, and found that the book isn't in OCLC yet. Is there anyone else out there who is familiar with this title and can give me more information about how it is or will be used in your organization? Or, anyone else who previewed it and elected not to purchase it - and why? Please reply to me off-list at marie.manthe@ksdot.org. Thanks so much, and have a good day!

Siva -
Yesterday I had mentioned the online media library that I put together for
USDOT. I think this could be very useful in organizing pavement photos,
creating a pavement distress collection, or for personal use. Anyway I just
wanted to pass the link along to you so you could check it out. The beta
site is at http://asphalt.ce.washington.edu/MediaLibrary. It currently
contains a lot of Scott's images, PowerPoint slides and video. In order to
use the upload feature you have to log in... Let me know what you think.
Best Regards -

Subject: Digital asset management question
Good afternoon-
MaineDOT is putting together a committee to consider management of its
digital assets. Somehow I landed on the committee, which makes me anxious
to find out what others out there are doing about this problem, if anything.
We are concerned about the many pictures being taken with digital cameras,
as well as about items stored in all kinds of different places on our
servers, such as our bike map book, things in pdf format, newsletters,
brochures, audio-visual products, powerpoints, logos, graphics, etc., etc.
Lots of materials, lots of chaos...so we are looking for a way to
consolidate information about these assets and eventually to provide
searchable access for our departmental community.
Have organizations out there tackled this, especially other DOTs? Any
direction or discussion would be useful. And I'm curious about the
involvement of other librarians with this kind of thing.
Thanks-
Pam Shofner
