What This Book Is About This book is about data structures and algorithms as used in computer programming. Data structures are ways in which data is arranged in your computer’s memory (or stored on disk). Algorithms are the procedures a software program uses to manipulate the data in these structures. Almost every computer program, even a simple one, uses data Continue to download »

EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT HOUSING A Wood Frame Building Performance Fact Sheet One of the proven features of Canadian woodframe construction is its excellent life safety performance in earthquakes Compared to other forms of house construction a platform frame wood house is one of the safest places to be in a quake In the past fifty years our understanding of the risks posed by earthquakes and our ability to survive them have improved But at the same time soaring populations and growing urban densities have increased humanity s earthquake risk An earthquake is a sudden release of energy from the motion of geologic plates Some parts of the world such as the west coast of North America are high risk areas Buildings there must resist strong earthquake forces These forces depend on the strength of the quake how far away it originated what type of geological event caused the earthquake and the geology immediately adjacent to a given building Each structure with its own unique set of characteristics such as stiffness and strength reacts differently to earthquake
