    Hello everyone!
    I am looking to collaborate on FEA projects in geotechnical engineering. I am looking for advice, resources and aficionados experienced in this area!

    Typically what I am looking for the right books read, free resources and software and building expertise outside professional work environment.

    Aditya,

    If you have not previously searched these libraries, please consider www.worldcat.org, which is the library search engine available through the National Academies of Engineering (www.nae.edu). NAE and Worldcat are my first stops when searching for papers on point. Many of the papers published by the NAE are available for free as downloads and Worldcat also points you to available ebooks or libraries in your zip code that hold copies of books and papers. It's a wonderful resource. Your topic returned over 12,000 hits in the Worldcat catalog.

    Other professional associations that can introduce to colleagues working in your field include the new Geoprofessionals Forum in the American Council of Engineering Companies www.acec.org (open forum for any ACEC member), and the GBA (www.geoprofessional.org) which is dedicated to geoprofessional engineering design. Their online communities are marked by an open sharing of best practices and timely information.

    Best regards,
