It's not downloadable to my knowledge, but it is a great reference
especially if you're looking for fundamentals. It predates the common
use of computers for dynamic analysis, but the physical aspects are
covered in super detail. The only place I know for sure that you can
get it is the NTIS, and IIRC it's about $100 for hard copy.
There's another really comprehensive report NASA CR-912 dealing with
shell design analysis. That also came out in the 60's before common
use of computers of any sort. It was aimed at aerospace structures,
so there isn't much on concrete or the usual civil structures, but it
was a pine piece of work for specialized pressure vessels. It also
had some errors in the section on flat plates. The contractors who
did it for NASA used it to write a book which they sold (double
dipping in this taxpayer's view) that I'm told had the errors
corrected. The NASA report is still a good piece of work.
