Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute (ZAG) tried to answer to these questions in a special research project, financed by Slovenian Ministry for Environment and Spatial Planning (MOP).
Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute was asked to perform a comprehensive evaluation of summer storms damage on buildings based on onsite assessment, documentation and relevant standard analysis.

It said the evaluate standard of pitch road formation degree the same as JTG H20-2007. 3.2 The evaluate standard of airport formation degree The evaluation and management standard of civil airport pavement (MH/T5024-2009), issued and actualized in 2009 by Civil Aviation Authority of China.
Public and for civil using' asphalt pavements formation testing equipments all use laser formation machine.
However the test of military airport's asphalt pavements formation typically uses the three-meter ruler and the method of three-meter formation machine to evaluate, more backward than roads and civil aviation system.

At a present version the method is used for rectangular shapes, which are quite common in civil engineering structures e.g. building elevations.
Those forms are quite common and widely used in civil engineering practice.
Such problems, where civil engineering is aggregate with computer vision, are rather commonly met in geotechnical or architectural sciences [13].

Introduction As an important realm of civil engineering research, the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of major construction projects is becoming more and more indispensable, for it is useful in reducing the accident happening and improving the operating efficiency.
With the development of CAE software and spread of high-performance computers, CAE softwares become the efficient assistants and powerful tools for the engineers to make innovation in engineering.
Fig. 1 Procedure of CAE As is known is civil engineers, severe information loss will happen between different stages of building lifecycle because of lack of information sharing mechanism.

Introduction In recent years, the demand outnumbers the supply in municipal engineering construction market, and for municipal engineering construction enterprises, competitions turn to be increasingly fierce.
Meanwhile, confronted by so many municipal engineering enterprises, the bid evaluation aiming at the specific engineering characteristics becomes one of the significant jobs of the tenderer.
Indicator system of the bid evaluation of municipal engineering construction project Municipal engineering, namely municipal facilities construction projects, falls into the scope of civil engineering.
Generally, it is the civil engineering of the country, which is infrastructure construction of various public transit facilities, urban roads, bridges, water supply and drainage, landscaping, gas, urban flood control, environmental health and lighting that can provide paid or free public products and services on the basis of governmental responsibilities and obligations, and it is set within the urban and village planning construction.
The first-level evaluation factor set of this large museum construction project can be represented as: U={Enterprise strength, Construction organization design plan, Social reputation, Engineering commitment, Similar engineering performance, Tender offer}.

The EPC mode is one kind of total engineering management mode.
For instance, the general contractor of EPC split the project into civil engineering and installment, which are subcontracted by two subcontractors.
Because there are many interfaces between the civil engineering and installment, even if the there are appointments about these interfaces, the actually execute process also has trouble in some cases.
The sub-contract management in EPC engineering is a systems engineering.
Increase the level of engineering claim processing.
