The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is consulted to design a project that offers thermal comfort in addition to lowering energy usage.
A few years ago, choosing materials for thermal comfort and subsequently lower energy usage in thermal conditioning systems was of no importance to engineers and architects [8].
Each thermal zone's energy balance is computed by the program using formulas that are provided in the Engineering Reference manual of the software [15].

Introduction Generally, cement production as aggregate binders have gainfully enabled the construction of civil infrastructures such as buildings, dams, railways, and whatnot.
This is a property widely used to describe the engineering behaviour of materials such as rock, soil, wood etc. and it is expressed as a percentage of pore water to solid.

Model Updating of Full Prestressed Concrete Beam based on Bayesian Theory Changyu Fang1,2,a Yaoting Zhang1,b 1School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, P.R.China 2Department of Civil Engineering, Guangxi University of Technology, Liuzhou 545006, P.R.China achinafcy2008@163.com, bzyt1965@mail.hust.edu.cn Keywords: Full prestressed concrete beam, Bayesian theory, Markov chain-Monte Carlo method, Model updating Abstract.
Conditional probabilities are interpreted as measures of the plausibility of certain statements given other statements, Bayesian theory is used to express updated probability of model parameters when other measured data is given: (2) here ,is prior probability of model parameter and is given by engineering judgement or modeling experience, is plausibility function of modal data when model parameter is known, is posterior probability density function of mode data when modal data is known.

Conservation of Heritage Structures in Turkey: Practice and Difficulties TURER Ahmet1, a 1Middle East Technical University, Civil Engineering Dept., Ankara, Turkey a aturer@metu.edu.tr Abstract Conservation studies in developing countries might have additional problems to those that are being experienced by leading developed countries.
This paper discusses some common problems experienced in Turkey mostly from a structural engineer's point of view.
All variations and uncertainties in a historic structure is larger compared to modern civil engineering structures; therefore, evaluation, discritization, analytical modeling is difficult.
Conservation studies need to accommodate interdisciplinary teams including architects, art historians, structural and geotechnical engineers, geologists, etc.
All variations and uncertainties in a historic structure is larger compared to modern civil engineering structures; therefore, evaluation, discritization, understanding, and analytical modeling is more difficult.
