Furthermore, efforts should be made by the government to conduct feasibility studies in these areas to determine the possible capacity of small hydropower plants and the scheme that will be suitable for these locations based on available hydrological and hydraulic data, such as head (m) and Volumetric flow rate of the water Q(m3/s) as these determine the type of hydro turbines to install and the civil works required.

SMAs have found many interesting applications in various fields of civil and mechanical engineering.
Conclusions It has been successfully demonstrated in this paper that multi-functional material components made out of shape memory alloys or piezoelectric materials bonded to, or integrated within, hosting composite structural elements can be used in engineering practice for control of various mechanical (static and dynamic) characteristic of the elements, or as sensors or actuators enabling one to control their health state.

Introduction There has been growing interest in alternative uses of wood waste in the energy and construction industry as well as its use in the manufacture of engineered wood products [1].
Furthermore, developing and promoting markets for products made from recycled wood waste, such as wood-plastic composite, pelletized sawdust or engineered wood products can be beneficial as seen in Australia [21].

To fill the gap between the students’ knowledge of building physics, their comprehension of the different phenomena, and their capability of deploying building simulation with simulation tools, an integrated teaching approach for a course in a MS program in Energy Engineering has been adopted and tested for five years.
To address this issue and fill the gap between the student’s knowledge of building physics, their deep comprehension of the different phenomena, and their approach to building simulation with simulation tools, an integrated teaching method for a course in a MS program in Energy Engineering has been developed and tested for five years.
Structure and Contents of the Course The course is taught within a MS program in Energy Engineering, which, according to Bologna process, is a second cycle university study program, lasting 2 years or 4 semesters, granting 120 ECTS and awarding a Master Degree.
Students mainly come from civil or industrial engineering bachelor programs.

In this work, after summarizing the experience with different protection systems used to control chloride-induced corrosion, a probabilistic performance approach is used to predict service life, based on the application of the Monte Carlo, a method similar to approaches used in other engineering applications [8].
This model represents another important step in helping engineers to predict the durability of reinforced concrete structures, but so far it has limited applications and some open questions still remain, in particular the selection of some characteristic parameters and the comparison with long-term performance in real structures [13-15].

The engineering stress-strain curves for coupons in the same sample were nearly identical, which is why each material was processed using only one curve.
Generally, stress and strain are expressed in terms of engineering stress–strain (σeng–εeng).
To use these values in numerical modeling, the engineering stress–strain (σE–εE) was calculated and transformed using the following equations [13,14] into true stress and logarithmic plastic strain (σtrue - εplln) up to the maximum load: σtrue = σeng (1+ εeng) (1) εplln=In(1+ εeng) - σtrue E (2) Model geometry and boundary conditions Fig. 6 FE model specifics for a typical subassembly configuration; (a) steel I-beam detail; (b) steel I-column detail.
