By the way, WD Allen, you are in a horrible fix if you don't read
your XLStats closer than you read the stats group.
Jim asked for pointers to *data* and not to stat packs:

Here is one reference. It might not help, but it might inspire others
to mention journals, if this is now a popular thing.
I discovered this a couple of weeks ago. "Biometrics" has a number
of datasets online which have been used in their articles.
I don't know what a civil engineer needs, so I can't judge their
relevance, even if I look at more than the title of the article.
Click on 'data sets' on their main page -
