RMS RESEARCH REPORTS
The RMS Program issued a number of research reports
and technical notes.
These include reprints of Ph.D. theses,
descriptions of numerical algorithms and associated software,
and other technical publications. A small number of these reports can
be downloaded; others can be obtained through the Stanford Civil
Engineering Department.
Information on ordering copies of these publications can be
found by contacting Racquel Hagen
