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].

Energy Partition of Harmonic Waves through a Micro Gap CHEN Xiao Yun1, a and YU Gui Lan 2, b 1,2School of Civil Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, P.R.China a09121686@bjtu.edu.cn, bglyu@bjtu.edu.cn Keywords: Harmonic waves, Micro Gap, Energy Partition, Seismology Abstract.
These relations are quite effective on seismology and civil engineering.
Introduction Reflection and refraction of elastic waves through a micro gap between two solids is a fundamental topic in seismology, civil engineering, non-destructive evaluation, etc.
These relations are quite effective on seismology and civil engineering where we consider the energy carried by the refracted waves to be minimum to protect the structure.
These relations are quite effective on seismology and civil engineering.

The finite element model is established to simulate the actual structure by Midas Civil.
