Experimental Assessment of Structural Control Devices used to Protect Civil Buildings Georges Magonette European Laboratory for Structural Assessment (ELSA) IPSC European Commission - JRC TP 480, Via Fermi 2749, 21027 Ispra, Italy georges.magonette@jrc.it Keywords: Pseudodynamic, substructuring, semiactive devices.
This paper presents the latest developments realized at the European Laboratory for Structural Assessment (ELSA) of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) to extend the 'on-line testing method with substructuring' to the experimental verification of civil buildings protected by semiactive devices.
These factors explain the considerable interest in the practical implementation of these systems for protection of civil infrastructures against earthquake and wind loading or, more generally, for vibration mitigation.

But still cannot avoid mining subsidence caused by surface soil quality of civil engineering and construction, the problem such as derivative, especially in the current coal resources tend to be deep," under three" mining trend, this due to the mining induced subsidence problems should not be neglected.
Therefore, the strengthening of regional civil construction monitoring on the life of the people has important significance.

Analysis of Powder Samples Extracted from Concrete Structures of Nuclear Plant ZATLOUKAL Jan1,a *and BEZDIČKA Petr2,b 1Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Experimental Centre, Thákurova 7, 166 29, Prague 6, Czech Republic 2Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Husinec-Řež 1001, 250 68, Řež, Czech Republic ajan.zatloukal@fsv.cvut.cz, bpetrb@iic.cas.cz Keywords: Civil structures of nuclear plants, XRD, XRF, TG/DTA.
The civil structures of nuclear plants need to meet the most strict criteria in terms of safety and reliability not only during their design and construction, but during the duration of their life cycle.
Introduction In the field of civil engineering, the structures of nuclear plants are unique in several aspects – for example by the safety and reliability requirements, operating conditions or structural arrangement.

Introduction FIDIC contract conditions made by the international federation of consulting engineers of civil engineering construction are widely applied in the international engineering.
Legal System China's legal system is to belong to the civil law, and FIDIC contract is common law, these two kinds of legal system are not the same as the way of thinking.
The civil law system regards enacting law as the main origin law is to be understood as abstract norms.
Successful Case-- Civil Engineering of Xiaolangdi Dam Measurement Measurement in the contract execution process is directly related to the owner and the contractor's direct interests, the engineer and the contractor will inevitably encounter all kinds of questions in the actual operation process, it will caused disagreement FIDIC clause requires the integrity of the engineer, it seems to be especially important In the measurement of quantities.
