Identification of Effective Material Characteristics in Semilinear Equations of Heat and Mass Transfer Jiří Vala 1, a * and Petra Jarošová1, b 1Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering, 602 00 Brno, Veveří 331/95, Czech Republic avala.j@fce.vutbr.cz, bjarosova.pj@fce.vutbr.cz *corresponding author Keywords: Heat and mass transfer, inverse problems, nondestructive testing.
Utilization of advanced materials in civil engineering motivates research in both experimental and computational methods of reliable identification of their material characteristics, as e.g. the thermal conductivity and diffusivity in semilinear evolutionary equations of heat conduction, coming from the energy balance in classical thermodynamics, or the capillary transfer coefficient in similar equations, coming from the mass balance.
Introduction Development of advanced materials in civil engineering, accompanied with the progress in structures and technologies, requires new experimental and computational methods of identification of their material characteristics.

Effect of Construction Stages to Long-Term Behavior of a Long-Span Pre-Stressed Concrete Girder Bridge Erriman Manru1,a, and Heru Purnomo2,b 1Master Program of Civil Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Universitas Indonesia, Depok 16424, Indonesia 2Department of Civil Engineering, Universitas Indonesia, Depok 16424, Indonesia aerriman.manru01@ui.ac.id, bherupur@eng.ui.ac.id Keywords: Pre-stressed concrete, Long-term behavior, Long-span bridge, Deflection, Girder Stress Abstract.
That is because work methods and times must be adapted to the engineering design.
This bridge was modeled using Midas Civil software with the beam element method (Figure 6) [6].

In the paper the vision-based method of civil engineering constructions’ in-plane deflection measurement and state monitoring is presented.
There developed methodology, created software tool as well as experimental results obtained from tests made on lab set-ups and a civil engineering construction are investigated.
The evaluation of the vision system on the civil engineering construction.
The performed field tests allows to determine the applicability of proposed vision-based technique for measuring the deflection of civil engineering constructions.

The scenario: pre-construction and assembly factors of huge civil engineering construction projects.
In the case of huge civil engineering projects – CEP, such reflection should always be prepared collectively and with the greatest possible methodological rigor, given the capital sums and resources required for its application, as well as the impacts [1].
To conclude, the authors intended to demonstrate with this study the complex scenario involving civil engineering works, especially those linked to major oil industry projects.
Therefore, as a managerial implication, the absorption of management concepts, particularly in relation to decision-making, could benefit the civil engineering field in recent years.
