 Civil Engineering Research Journal- Juniper Publishers Abstract   ENEA, the Italian Agency for new technologies, energy and sustainable economic development, promotes training and information campaigns for the dissemination of energy efficiency culture. The Public Administration plays a key role for the energy efficiency in Italy, planning energy policies concerning energy efficiency and representing one of the most energy consumers. Among public buildings, in particular, schools are crucial place with a symbolic significance. Energy renovation is not the only urgent need for the school buildings, indoor air quality in schools has received particular attention in recent years, as the large proportion of the time spent at schools. Unconventional information and training campaigns can lead to changing behaviour aiming at improving both energy saving and health indoor Keywords:  Energy efficiency, Schools, Public buildings, changing behaviour, sustainability, health indoor Go to Introduc

 Civil Engineering Research Journal-Juniper Publishers Abstract In the economically developed countries, especially the ones of the European Union, increasing attention is paid to the possibilities of use of the hydropower potential at very low heads (i.e. from 0.5m up to about 2.5m). This substantial existing potential has not been used so far because it is generally not cost-effective to apply conventional water turbines. In the frames of several research projects, other machines have been developed and studied as hydropower converters for the range of very low heads. In this work, laboratory studies on the so-called Hydrostatic Pressure Machine (HPM) developed at the University of Southampton within the international research project HYLOW are presented. The parameter studies performed on a smallscale laboratory model in the frame of a subsequent research project served the improvement and the further investigations of the full scale prototype of the machine built on river Iskar in

 Civil Engineering Research Journal Abstract For increasing performance of frame structure varioustypes of braces are used in frame structure for seismic design. i.e. X-braced, inverted V braced, ZX braced, and Zipper braced frame. Inverted-V-braced frames are one type of ordinary concentrically braced frame. The behaviour of this system is controlled by the buckling of the first story braces in compression, resulting in localization of failure and loss of lateral resistance. To overcome this problem of V-bracing and reduce the unbalance force,for improving seismic behavioura vertical structural member added at the beam mid span from the second stories above, called zipper strut. And this new brace called zipper brace. On zipper brace frame more research has been done by researchers in steel by using different software’s. This paper represents the review on research conducted on zipper braced frame. Keywords:  Zipper braced frames;Chevron braced frames;Inverted v-braced frames;Time his

 Civil Engineering Research Journal- Juniper Publishers Short Communication Now there is a question of reasonable applicability of indicators of pore pressure and humidity at an assessment of influence of indicators of soil in various environments and conditions of transport construction. Such an analysis can be carried out within the framework of the molecular kinetic theory of gases taking into account the photon interaction. The real gas is not described by the clayperon-Mendeleev equation for ideal gases. Therefore, due to the needs of practice, many attempts have been made to create an equation of the state of real gases. The most well-known equations for real gases are given in Table 1. Some equations are a refinement of the equation of van der Waals (Dieterici and Berta), and equation Beattie-Bridgeman and Redlich-Kwong are empirical, without physical justification. In this case, Redlich writes in his article that the equation does not have a theoretical justifica
