Suitable Structure

Abstract In the paper we indicate the way to allow the coexistence of multiple structures that are mutually supportive, but not mutually exclusive. It allows less organized users to classify entities according to their suitable structure, whilst leaving the possibility for specialised users to classify these entities into related field classification systems or domain ontologies, in mutually beneficial cooperation. Replacing the reductionist enumerative structure with multiplicative categorization should bring organizational and terminological flexibility that will allow future updates without disrupting the existing categorization. It allows one to use parallel hierarchical branches of categories according to aspects and classify the entity into several branches at the same time. It should allow users the freedom to create their own structures without disrupting the structures of other user groups. Such structures could coexist happily side by side. The aim is to indicate the model of an independent data organization system in building design in a multilingual environment, connected through diverse CAD, GIS, BIM, CAFM applications, ECM, CDE, emails, databases and file systems.

Abstract This paper presents modern application of fire safety engineering (FSE) in the shaping of civil engineering development. Presented scientific achievements of FSE become tools used in typical modern engineering workflow. Experience gained through successful implementations of these solutions is then further crafted into prescriptive laws that shape future fire safety. This diffusion of knowledge is limited by law requirements themselves, technical limitations, and yet unresolved challenges that are still being worked on by the researchers in this field. This paper aims to present the achievements of the FSE discipline that may and should be used by civil engineers and other participants of the building process. Explanations given for the choices of fire safety engineers allow a better understanding of their gravity by representatives of other engineering branches. That way it is possible to build empathy between different engineering disciplines, which may significantly improve both the building design process and safety of the buildings itself. The chosen framework of this paper is Appendix A to EU Construction Products Regulation defining basic goals for a fire safe building, with a possible application of FSE given for each of these goals. The current framework of performance-based FSE is presented in relation to the Polish legal system, with recommendations on how to improve both FSE and civil engineering in the future.

The information bottleneck (IB) method is an unsupervised model independent data organization technique. Given a joint distribution, p(X, Y), this method constructs a new variable, T, that extracts partitions, or clusters, over the values of X that are informative about Y. Algorithms that are motivated by the IB method have already been applied to text classification, gene expression, neural code, and spectral analysis. Here, we introduce a general principled framework for multivariate extensions of the IB method. This allows us to consider multiple systems of data partitions that are interrelated. Our approach utilizes Bayesian networks for specifying the systems of clusters and which information terms should be maintained. We show that this construction provides insights about bottleneck variations and enables us to characterize the solutions of these variations. We also present four different algorithmic approaches that allow us to construct solutions in practice and apply them to several real-world problems.

Design Planning

Multi-storey buildings are vertical buildings that are made to meet human needs as places of education, government, commerce, sports facilities and others. As the development of science and technology, especially in the field of civil engineering, many computer programs have been developed to help in analyzing and designing a building structure. There are several computer programs developed to analyze and design structures, including SAP 2000 (Structural Analysis Program), with this program, it will be easier for writers to plan a building.The research carried out was to plan the structure of a six-story hotel building. This hotel building is the object of research planned by the author and was designed using the help of the SAP2000 program. Building design planning only includes planning beams and columns. In this plan the writer uses references such as regulations, PPPURG 1987, SNI 03-2847-2002, SNI - 1726 - 2002The results of the design of the hotel building structure used three variations that have the results of column K1 used size 45 cm x 45 cm, reinforcement base 12 D16 and stirrup reinforcement ?10-90, column K2 used size 35 cm x 35 cm, base reinforcement 8 D16 and stirrup reinforcement ?10-90, B1 beam used size 20 cm x 40 cm, support reinforcement 7 D14, field reinforcement 7 D14, waistline 2 D12, and support stirrup reinforcement ?10-80 and field stirrup ?10-170, beam B2 used size 15 cm x 20 cm, 75D14 support reinforcement, 5 D14 field reinforcement, 2 D12 waistline, and pedestal stirrup ulangan10-30 and field stirrup ?10-70

Farm Buildings

As the theme of this conference is intensive animal production in developing countries, I will apply myself only to the design of farm buildings for the purpose of livestock production. It is important to understand that I am a farmer and not an architect or civil engineer. As such, I should be more attuned to the needs of the animal, which must represent the first criterion in building design in any circumstances. But that is not enough and, as a farmer, I am concerned to include ergonomic factors (that is the economies of labour use) and the commercial implications of any design. At the same time I must be conscious of the factors which influence architects, the materials available and the construction methods that are possible. In this regard I have the advantage of having at my disposal the Civil Engineering Division in our Company—Masstock.

Construction Engineering is very important part of Civil Engineering. We can’t think about a good and stable structure without good quality of construction. And the construction materials is also play an important role for any construction work. Construction engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction and management of infrastructures such as roads, tunnels, bridges, airports, railroads, facilities, buildings, dams, utilities and other projects. Civil Engineering is a related field that deals more with the practical aspects of projects. Construction engineers learn some of the design aspects similar to civil engineers as well as project site management aspects. Construction Engineers are heavily involved in the design and management/ allocation of funds in these projects. They are charged with risk analysis, costing and planning. Many types of building materials are used in the construction industry to create buildings and structures. KEYWORDS: Construction materials as like Brick, Stone, Cement, Lime-stone, Lime, Water, Reinforcement Steel, Wood etc.

Patients At Risk

Claims of treatment selectivity can represent an important therapeutic advance: however, most such claims cannot be confirmed with independent data. This implies a management dilemma when confronted with ambiguous information on the risks of therapies and, most of all, insufficient criteria for identifying patients at risk. An accurate assessment of prognosis can help overcome the uncertainties facing the patients. But the identification of prognostic factors is subject to certain caveats. An essential part of prognostic factor analysis is standardization, a fact that is often overlooked. Thus, two different studies identifying the prognostic value of a factor may not be truly comparable, making a meaningful comparison difficult. Therefore, the development of an accurate prognostic system provides a method of conveying clinical experience to others without ambiguity.

The purpose of this study is to develop a platform tentatively named the Korean Integrated Disaster Evaluation Simulator (K-IDES) to assess building risk during disasters. In this study, the first step includes an analysis of FEMA’s risk management series in the USA for precedent research. Among them, FEMA IRVS is selected as the case study for the development of the K-IDES framework and through the comparative analysis of domestic building design guides, codes, and special acts related to disasters. The next step is to develop a risk assessment methodology to yield quantitative results. This methodology consists of classification systems, calculation methods, and grade ratings. Based on it, K-IDES will establish a management system that can systematically integrate the collected information by using assessment techniques for elements except legal standards to measure risks in response to various disasters and present a classification system of evaluation factors, criteria for evaluation items, and risk assessment methods. In the next study, and through the simulation of the selected buildings by using this risk assessment, a check-list will be verified. The final goal of this study is to build a platform to be used as an integrated risk management method against a complex disaster by the expansion to other types of buildings through continuous data scaling and management systematization.
