Since there is no established standard in Peru, it was proposed to use the "JSCE-SF6" test method recommended by the Japanese Society of Civil Engineers and an analytical model to determine the shear strength of concrete with fibers.
Finally, the study proposes the use of concrete with polyolefin fibers in structures based on the findings obtained and thus defining the objective of this study, which is to improve our understanding of how the fibers used in testing for concrete shear stress using the modified Japanese Society of Civil Engineering (JSCE - SF6) tests.

Non-Linear Analysis of Precast Concrete Element for Airport Pavement Miroslav ŠRÁMEK1,a* and Josef NOVÁK2,b 1,2CTU in Prague, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Thákurova 7, 166 29 Praha 6, Czech Republic amiroslav.sramek@fsv.cvut.cz, bjosef.novak.1@fsv.cvut.cz Keywords: Precast Concrete element, Imperfection, Precast Pavement, Airplane Pavement Loads.
The paper focuses on structural design of a precast concrete element used for an innovative precast concrete pavement system for airports which is being developed within an ongoing project at Faculty of Civil Engineering CTU in Prague.
Introduction Nowadays, there is a huge dominance of cast-in-place pavements in the civil engineering.
In accordance with requirements of both Czech standards [3] and technical quality requirements for civil engineering [4] used in the Czech Republic, concrete cover for top and bottom reinforcement equals 50 mm.

Based on the requirements of load test technique on existing long-span concrete bridge, a deck arch bridge of large-span reinforced concrete was taken as the engineering background and the emulation analysis was done by building the bridge model using the finite element software Midas/Civil.
Engineering Survey This bridge was completed in November 11th, 2011.
Based on characteristics of the structure and the design load, the bridge model was built by using the finite element software Midas/Civil.

Control Research of Engineering Safety Supervision Based on Rent-seeking and Game Theory Jia L(Jia Lu)1, a Liu X Z(Liu Xian Zhi)1,b 1 School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology,China ajialu_2003@foxmail.com, bliuxz_2007@126.com Keywords: rent-seeking theory； causality graph；cost and benefit analysis；game theory Abstract：In order to further discussing the problem of the construction engineering safety supervision, this paper analyzed the cost and benefit on the rent-seeking behavior of engineering safety supervision using rent-seeking theory.
Introduction Civil engineering is one of the pillar industries in Chinese national economy, also the developing foundation of other related industries.
Suppose a rent-seeking model between the contractor(C) and the supervision engineers(E), the contractor offers bribe(B) to engineers and gets the rent(R).

For an engineering example, this paper puts forward several different vertical prestressed steel arrangements.
Engineering Background A system for prestressed concrete continuous box girder bridge is under construction.
When using Midas/civil modeling, prestressed steel beam is not seen as pure frame unit, but the steel beam prestressed simulation of equivalent load, applied to concrete cross section.
(3) Define the tension of the steel beam, prestressed beam load according to the construction phase. 3.2 Using Midas/Civil software for stress analysis By Midas/Civil software，simulate the prestressed concrete continuous box girder web plate stress analysis [6].
