Today I found myself deleting an old post where one of our great user reported member having avatar showing child as from mother born. The avatar was removed and user was guided.
Our children are our most valuable asset. They represent the bright future of ours and hold our hopes for a better nation. Our children are the most vulnerable members of society. I know some of you are putting the pictures of your children to be your avatar because you love them and you'd like to world see the treasure you have, but not every man in this world shares the same opinion as you do. Protect your children and don't share their picture in public.
Please don't let yours and ours children photographs get into the hands of dangerous child sexual predators or computer-sex offenders.
If you have at this moment your avatar showing picture of a child, please change it into something showing e.g. brick, house, bridge, cartoon character, etc.
If you saw a member of CivilEA having child photograph as avatar, please make a report to us and we'll do our best to guide or warn this member and to remove this photograph by any means.
We'd like to hear your suggestions on how to make Civilea.com even better place. Feel free to tell us anything you think it would be useful to improve forum. It is very important for us to know your request or suggestions....
Suggestions can include:
new features,
new abilities,
new colors,
new ...
If you think it would be a good idea to open weblog for civilea or you think it is good to open virtual library for civilea .... tell us here
Feel free to tell us any suggestion no matter on how impossible it seems to be.
Here are two suggestions written by our two great users:
Suggestion #1:
Quote:To improve thread quality in VIP section, I have a suggestion, How if regular user (not VIP) can share their private files in VIP section, maybe moderator can become a mediator to move each post in VIP section and then this user will get more point.
Maybe, by this way, VIP section become "real VIP"...
Suggestion #2:
Quote:i believe put a post... or a banner... or a link (like INSTALL_CIVILEA_TOOLBAR)... to inform users... if they want to share some RARE_STUFF in VIP section (which they are not allowed to access)... they can share it with moderator in PM.... and moderator will put them on to VIP section.... and the user will be given 50 times (or 100 or so) of the posting points
the best way (i mean easiest way) for this donating points would be the moderator who post that material (received in PM by user)... that moderator can donate points from his points... points for moderators are immaterial... and i think they can be recharged by admin as and if required... (or admin can do that by himself)
We are happy to hear your suggestions and ideas, no matter how impossible they seams to be
Kind regards,
Forum team
(I quoted suggestions anonymous, but if the users wrote those quotes wants me to add their user names along them, please contact me)
This book summarizes the author’s three decades of experiences and research results on deep foundation in design and construction of high-rise buildings. It presents a full coverage of settlement calculation issues theoretically with case studies, according to the characteristics and requirements of super high-rise buildings. It also brings forward the author’s several original research results, which form a series of settlement calculation theory and application on high-rise buildings.
This book discusses the latest developments in settlement calculation theory and case studies including analysis and research results for more than thirty high-rise buildings with a height of 100m-420m. Rigorously reviewed, this book provides a number of useful methods and a unique practical perspective on settlement calculation of high-rise buildings. It covers soft soil constitutive model and computation parameters, the theory of soil stress and strain, and new methods of settlement calculation in super long pile and space-varying rigidity group piles, box(raft), pile-box(raft), diaphragm wall-pile-box(raft) and rock foundation on high-rise buildings.
Contents
1. Introduction
2. Practical Models and Parameters for Settlement Calculation of Deep Foundation of Super High-Rise Buildings on Soft Subgrade

Control of Traffic Systems in Buildings presents the state of the art in the analysis and control of transportation systems in buildings focusing primarily on elevator groups. The theory and design of passenger traffic and cargo transport systems are covered, together with actual operational examples and topics of special current interest such as:
• noisy, on-line and algorithmic optimization;
• simulation-based modeling of passengers and goods;
• control of cooperative agent-oriented systems;
• proposal for a benchmark to compare new control methods;
• deployment and testing of transportation systems.
Special attention is given to the techniques and uses of simulation and a working simulator is included that allows readers to explore the subject for themselves. The safe running of such automated traffic systems, though vital, gets rather taken for granted but workers in elevator control have pioneered the development of many modern control systems for employment in all sorts of traffic and scheduled systems being among the first to realize the potential of techniques like fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algorithms. For this reason, this exposition of recent work in in-building transport control will be of considerable interest to researchers and engineers in many areas of control, particularly those working in optimal or supervisory control, urban transportation systems and intelligent transport systems as well as to those directly interested in the elevator control systems under discussion.

This book provides readers with an explanation of the state of the art in Intelligent Building (IB)/ Building Automation (BA) systems and technologies, and enables them to understand the working principles and applications of BA systems and the control of building services systems. It mainly addresses the following issues.
• Progress and state of the art in IB/BA systems, and their configuration and integration.
• BA network, including wired/wireless local area networks (LAN) and Internet, communication protocols and standards as well as their applications.
• The interfacing and integration of BA subsystems with building services systems.
• Process control and tuning of local control loops.
• The control and optimization as well as the operational characteristics of typical HVAC systems, including air-conditioning systems and central chilling systems.

This introductory text on building economics and cost planning provides the reader with the fundamental skills and knowledge to operate as a building professional in the area of economic advice and decision making at the project level. Cost planning is not an esoteric area for specialists alone, but a core skill for the whole design team.
Starting from the environment in which cost planning and design activities take place, the book works through the cost planning process in theory and practice, discussing the issues involved from a design team and client perspective. With analysis of key concepts related to cost control such as life cycle costing, value management, cost modelling and accuracy, and integration of estimating techniques, the authors provide an unequalled introduction to a crucial aspect of professional construction management.

This is a statutory instrument, which sets out the minimum requirements and performance standards for the design and construction of buildings, and extensions to buildings. The current regulations are the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004.
Although the regulations are comparatively short, they rely on their technical detail being available in two technical handbooks (one for domestic and one for non-domestic buildings) and a vast number of British, European and international standards, codes of practice, drafts for development, published documents and other non-statutory guidance documents. The aim of our book, therefore, is to provide the reader with an in-brief guide that can act as an aide-mémoire to the current requirements of the Building (Scotland) Regulations. Intended readers are primarily builders and the DIY fraternity (who need to know the regulations but do not require the detail), but the book, with its ready reference and no-nonsense approach, will be equally useful to students, architects, designers, building surveyors and inspectors, etc.
