I’d go with Dynamic HTML (webpage design), then php & mysql this will cover some database design stuff that can be implemented within your webpages.
You will want SQL as well if your working with databases.
For building servers, Windows Server, IIS6. Skip the TCP/IP, this is networking protocols. Perl and CGI may be useful for web server programming also.

Either increase the size of the members, increase the number of members, or reduce the load.

I see no other options.

If you are using wood, you could switch to steel, or use glu-lam wood headers or beams (but they are more expensive).

Building owners will have to suck it up, if they want their building inspected and approved for public or private occupancy.

Life is cruel, but deadly if codes are not complied with.
There is a reason why they are there.

that whenever there is an earthquake damages, insurance is justified

It is important because improperly coded algorithms can crash the system or require geometric scaling resources.

Performing system analysis and using best practice methodologies help prevent common bad coding techniques.

So sorry, I’m normally quite accommodating.
But this is 1/2 a day of well paid work for me normally. I’ll give you a design with it’s calcs. If you want one, but you’ll have to ask REAAAALLLYY nicely.
Ps. If you give me a country, I’ll even supply the appropriate wind calcs. For the local hurricanes.

Can it be done given the time constraints (you need it by when)?

Can it be done given the resource budget (people/equipment/money)?

Can it be done in a way that meets performance and other quality requirements(glitchy bugs, performance, resource consumption, etc)?

(I can also think of a 4th feasiblity tenet — Is the problem solveable by current (or anticipated) technology?)

We have a saying in the software industry, you can have it quickly, you can have it bug free, or you can have all of your desired features. Pick two.

If your company has a big enough IT budget, you should contact one of the major statistical/analytical software vendors. (Or have your IT guys help you look into it.) It sounds like you need a lot more than a cheesy Excel spreadsheet and Access ain’t going to cut it any more than Excel.

http://www.spss.com

etc.

These guys have products that answer exactly what your questions are driving at. I have used the SAS products and I think they’re the best.

If you have no budget at all, you still need something better than Microsoft toy products, so look into the freeware/open source stuff — I know about QuantLib but I suspect there are others: http://quantlib.org/

What did they use at school where you learned about modelling? Or have you been learning on your own?
