But there is difference between the distribution coefficients of moment at end-column and negative moment at bearing section in civil engineering.
Here the distribution coefficients of negative moment at bearing section (mid span)in civil engineering is 0.75 at slab strip on column, 0.25 at mid-span slab strip while the distribution coefficients of moment at end-column is0.85 at s slab strip, 0.15 at mid-span slab strip.
But in practical engineering, these advantages of column-caps are often ignored, making the calculation results conservative.
Spatial calculation is suitable for large civil defense structure and it’s even more needed in Super-large scale of civil air defense projects which is more complicated to handle.

As to energy efficiency management guide, it is a materialization of engineering quality supervision to quality supervision on energy efficiency project.
Energy efficiency management guide also requires that supervision organization should draw up supervision work plans according to the situation of local civil energy efficiency project.
Energy efficiency supervision on civil engineering Supervision and random checking on materials, components, and equipment quality .The supervision and random checking on materials, components, equipment quality contains the fit situation with design document requirements about model, and performance of main material[8], components and equipment specification; the certificates of soundness, Chinese explanatory memorandum ,type inspection report; inspection report about approved products and a set of technology application; the record of entering construction site and acceptance checking; the checking situation of sampling inspection retrial report; the sign and approval situation by supervising engineers when materials, components, and equipment entering construction sites.
Construction of thermal insulation layer should combine with different engineering practice accordingly to building code.

For our research, woods were selected according to frequency of utilization in civil engineering branch.
Introduction Energy intensiveness of structures becomes one of the main aspects in a civil engineering design.
With regard to studied materials, one of the most often used representatives in civil engineering branch of natural materials is indisputably wood.
Since the specific heat capacity is most common in civil engineering, measured volumetric heat capacity were than recalculated.
Studied materials were chosen according its frequency of application in civil engineering branch, and Quercus robur, Larix decidua, Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris were selected timber for needs of this study.

A Case for the Introduction of Designers’ Safety Education (DSE) for Architects and Civil Engineers Wan Faida Wan Azmi 1 , a and Mohd Saidin Misnan 2 , b 1 , 2 Department of Quantity Surveying, Faculty of Built Environment, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia awfaida2@live.utm.my , bb-saidin@utm.my Keywords : Safety Education, Design for safety, Designers Abstract.
This can be done by improving the education curricular in the university and college in the Architecture and Civil Engineering programmes by including safety matters in their existing course and introducing a safety course as a primary subject.
Majority of local and private universities in Malaysia did not include safety design in their curricular for both bachelor in Architectural and Civil Engineering [13-19].

As a natural nano material, the bentonite is widely used in industry and engineering, and it is used in the anti-seepage (infiltration) project in civil engineer because of its low permeability.
The results of the research have certain referential value for the application of the bentonite in civil engineering and play a guiding role on how to reduce the errors and to improve the authenticity and the reliability of the test Introduction Bentonite is an important clay mineral.
Bentonite is usually mixed with the soil as soil amendment to reduce seepage in civil engineer [2,3,4].
The results of the research have certain referential value for the application of the bentonite in civil engineering and play a guiding role on how to reduce the errors and to improve the authenticity and the reliability of the test Test method MIP.
