The Basic Analysis of Engineering Supervision Enterprises.
There five reasons that our engineering supervision enterprises have dishonest behavior.
Our engineering supervision enterprises have not yet established credit system, enterprises’ construction of credit and engineering supervision enterprises sector are incompatible.
Our engineering supervision corporate credit related laws and regulations are not sound.
Development of engineering supervision enterprises is also facing new opportunities and challenges.

Quality Management Approach in Qualifications Framework Implementation in Industrial Engineering ROHAN Rodica1,a*, IONESCU Nicolae1,b 1 POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest, Splaiul Independenţei, nr. 313, corp CE, sector 6, Bucureşti, Romania arodica.rohan@gmail.com, bionescu_upb@yahoo.com Keywords: Quality management, competences, Industrial Engineering, qualification framework Abstract.
It was then prepared the detailed design of the SIS-CNCIS for the particular case of implementation in Industrial Engineering.
The structure proposed by the authors in the field of Industrial Engineering has the advantage of its easily being adapted to any other field.
Using these generic solutions, the authors determined specific solutions for the industrial engineering field, as shown in Table 1.
Employers, National Consortia and Sectorial Committees must represent the three pillars of leadership in building bridges between University and civil society.

Preface It is a great honor for us to take part in the conference «New ecological materials in civil construction», which includes the process of modifying building materials for further use in various areas of our lives.
The main purpose of participation in the conference is to gather scientists, industrial researchers, engineers to solve global problems of production of building materials, their modification, environmental friendliness (toxicity, both in production and in further use).

Preliminary Research on Waste Incineration Bottom Ash Concrete Rui Zhang a, Tao Zhang a School of Civil and Safety Engineering, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian 116028, China azhangrui@djtu.edu.cn Key words: waste incineration bottom ash, engineering properties, compressive strength Abstract.
We use the bottom ash from Harbin Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Plant as concrete coarse aggregate and study the engineering properties of the coarse aggregate, Compressive strength and influencing factors of waste incineration bottom ash concrete(WIBAC for short).
Engineering properties of waste incineration bottom ash (WIBA for short) [1] In reference to JGJ 52—2006 , we study the engineering properties of the bottom ash and the conclusions are drawn as follows: Physical composition.
It is suitable for Road Engineering and Construction particularly and has great economic value and future prospects.

This volume contents include both theoretical and experimental developments, providing a self-contained major reference that is appealing to both the scientists and the engineers.
The topics that will be presented in this Volume will be going to the encounter of a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, such as chemical, civil, agricultural, mechanical engineering, etc….The book is divided in several chapters that intend to be a resume of the current state of knowledge for benefit of professional colleagues, scientists, students, practitioners, lecturers and other interested parties to network.

Strong earthquake motion observations have gathered much useful data for the seismic-resistant design of civil engineering structures, and for developing earthquake prevention technology.
Strong motion recordings from NSMONS are useful for research and implementation in engineering and strong-motion seismology.
These data have been widely applied in some studies of seismology and earthquake engineering.
The strong-motion data are fundamental for earthquake engineering studies such as advanced structural analysis, seismic hazard evaluation, site effects and calibration of ground motion attenuation relationships, also we should gather and update those data efficiently and service the engineering requirement so that we can engage our work to the stakeholders of public affairs more closely.
NSMONS which provided the high-quality strong motions recordings could improve the earthquake design criteria for buildings and other engineering infrastructure and also provide the basic information for studying the earthquake source mechanisms as well as seismic wave propagation and local site effects.

Participation of accredited laboratories in Proficiency Testing Schemes and Interlaboratory Comparisons Siniša DELČEV1, a*, Jelena GUČEVIĆ1, b and Vukan OGRIZOVIĆ1, c 1University of Belgrade, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Department of Geodesy and Geoinformatics, Serbia adelcev@grf.bg.ac.rs, bjgucevic@grf.bg.ac.rs, cvukan@grf.bg.ac.rs Keywords: proficiency testing schemes, calibration, accreditation, interlaboratory comparisons, quality control Abstract.
Example - geodetic instruments Metrological Laboratory of the Faculty of Civil Engineering.
Metrological Laboratory (ML160) of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Institute of Geodesy, started working on January 21, 1985, immediately after the Law on Measuring Units and Measuring Instruments of 1984 had been enacted.
In total to date it participated in three interlaboratory comparisons, namely with the Metrological Laboratory of the Civil Engineering – Geodetic College.
The example of the laboratory at the faculty of civil engineering, ML160, demonstrates that interlaboratory comparison can be used for successful proof of competence with minimal costs.
