No. Technique 1 Analysis and Design of Hydraulic Gates Made by Reinforced Concrete Hydraulic gates are used to drain or retain water in hydraulic structures. They are usually made by steel materials, such as cast iron and stainless steel, etc. Nowadays, the price of steel is high. Therefore, the hydraulic gates made by steel materials are sometimes stolen. Concrete materials are inexpensive in comparison with steel and have the advantages of high Specification compression strength and high durability. Fiber reinforced concrete is a composite material made of concrete and short discrete fibers which are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented. Fibers are used in concrete to control cracking due to plastic and drying shrinkage. Thus, permeability of concrete can be reduced. In addition to tensile and shear strength, fibers also produce greater impact, abrasion and shatter resistance in concrete. Illustration Holder / Dep.

To assist construction management in making better decision for levels, degrees, and procedures of automation in their projects. The process of these construction consultation services includes a site Specification visit, discussions between site personnel and experts, a diagnostic report, method improvement schemes, and follow up reports. According to different characteristics of each project, experts from industrial as well as academia will be invited in the process of consultation. In order to further diffuse of construction automation experiences, the consultation service case reports will be used for promotion purposes under the consent of relative bodies. Holder / Dep. C. H.

Its collection of relevant experts to conduct research team analyzed the subject of work, focusing on products or plans of "function" and its corresponding relationship between "value", and " Life Cycle Cost" to consider the cost of the product or program, the emphasis on creative thinking in order to solve the problem. US General Electric engineer, Mr. Miles is proposed to reduce procurement costs management improvement program value analysis in 1947. 1950 is first applied to the US Navy's shipbuilding plan, then gradually be extended applications to other US industries. 1988 Taipei MRT Bureau Quality Assurance Centre was established to handle the select value engineering course Value Specification engineering-related business for the first time Taiwan's large-scale public works of value engineering units. And promulgated in 1992 between the implementation of the "MRT Taipei City Government Engineering Bureau of value engineering incentive clause" to encourage the contractor offered to value engineering change recommendations, as adopted by the owners to share 50% of the net savings amount. According to the Government Procurement Law Article 35 authorities allow firms to tender documents tenderers propose alternatives to the bid deadline before the deadline. Value engineering for the proposed alternatives to meet than the maximum value of the cost function, which has a variety of theories and research analysis step, in which information, ideas, judgments, develop and recommend five-stage analysis methods and procedures most widely use.

By uncertainties affecting weather, geology and other natural conditions, changes in the construction of the man-machine materials, as well as policy, so that construction works of the more full of uncertainties and risks. In view of this, the concept of risk management and analytical skills have significant value to the project's management. With a well how risk management techniques in order to achieve management objectives of the construction engineering: quality, budget, schedule, environmental, safety and other requirements to achieve contract, is the construction industry has become the focus of management. Through risk management techniques can reduce engineering risk due to the impact of the degree of probability of occurrence. The use of risk management techniques is becoming the global trend, however, to create the industry's general lack of domestic general risk management philosophy. Risk management procedures and means of construction engineering risk management system designed to analyze the scientific method, find and analyze engineering cost risk, the likelihood of the occurrence of the risks, and benefits of countermeasures processing, feed in order to seek a viable execution policy.
