Structurae Newsletter - 6/2017

"My Structurae" is now Available!

You can now register for "My Structurae" and enjoy additional functions on Structurae that are completely free of charge and not available to unregistered users. In this newsletter, I would like to show you what you will get with "My Structurae" now and what may await you in the future.

Best regards,
Nicolas Janberg
Structurae Editor-in-chief / Owner

The following functions are available at the moment:

Image Downloads

Out of more than 230,000 images in the database, you will be able to download the original image files of nearly 15,000 images which have been published on Structurae using a free license (such as Creative Commons) or are part of the public domain. You can re-use these images provided you follow the license terms.

The download is one via a button that appears on the image page which you can reach anywhere by clicking on the image ID number in the image caption. More such images are uploaded regularly!

Diagrams

For nearly all bridge types, you can now find diagrams showing the main span lengths of bridges in the database plotted against the year of completion. Similar scatter plots are available for the height of dams or the length of tunnels.

The size of the underlying datasets is still being increased so check this feature out regularly!

Additions/Corrections

On nearly ever data page, be it a structure, a person, a company or a publication, it is possible to submit messages to Structurae directly on the page. You can thus provide additional information or point out errors more easily and without having to write an e-mail.

In addition to the above, your personal account allows you to edit the information related to your person and manage your newsletter subscription.

Call for Abstracts Extended!

The call for abstracts has been extended to 1 July 2017. More information on the open and thematic sessions and the submission procedure can be found on www.6icch.org.

Footbridge 2017, the triennial conference on the design, construction, and maintenance of footbridges from around the world will not only feature numerous papers but also footbridge designs for six locations in Berlin. The conference will be held at TU Berlin from 6 to 8 September 2017. Register at footbridge2017.com

Of course we are planning for the future and working on some additional functions for "My Structurae" that will be coming soon:

Full Text Papers

All the papers that will be presented at the Footbridge 2017 conference (see above) in September will also be published on Structurae six months after the conference – in full and free for anyone to read or download having an account with "My Structurae". Obviously, many more publications written by expert authors will be added in the future.

Image Uploads

We also want to make it possible for you to upload your own images to Structurae so you can show everyone what a structure looks like where Structurae does not have have any images available, etc.

Do you have any feedback or ideas for what you would also like to see in "My Structurae"? Just let us know e.g. by responding to this newsletter.
