In 1976, an earthquake occurred in western Iran that claimed the lives of 15,000 people. Another incident claimed 1000 people in 1981 in Kerman while 40,000 faced the same in Gilan, a province in Northern Iran. The Ritcher scale reading struck 7.2. An earthquake in Bam in December 2003 is among the 130 major earthquakes in Iranian history.

Introduction
Human beings have always had a fascination with flying, and this has served as an impetuous for design of all types of devices that will fulfil their dreams (Abzug, 2002, Pp. 1 – 10). However, human powered aircraft and gliders that depend on the power delivered to them as their pilot jumps off to try to take off and fly have very limited power available to them to sustain flight (Cruz, 1989, Pp.
A typical CVD phenomenon includes the exposure of material commonly in volatile format with the substrate which allows the reaction of those and obtains the desired result, deposit or exposure. During the process, byproducts are also produced which are evolved as a gas through the chamber of reaction.
Hence, engineers and building designers properly lay out their built environment designs in order to meet its fundamental requirements. This included the following: structural safety, serviceability, robustness and fire resistant, reliability differentiation, design working life, durability, and quality assurance (Brettle, 2009).

An overall objective of advanced manufacturing as a concept is defined. Nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing are posited as a preeminent example of a more flexible, adaptable business model.
Based on this research there are many definitions for hazards in the field of international construction and civil engineering. Hazards can be classified, there are those that result in individual injury or toxicity, those that cause a general feeling of suspicion and unrest in the surrounding community – or may not involve an actual physical hazard, and sometimes the suspicion of danger is sufficient social consequences.
It is evidently clear from the discussion that there are a variety of indications that are associated with the properties of rubber tyres as aggregate in concrete. The concept of using the recycled tyres as a part of changing the amount of waste that is used is only one of the variety of benefits that come from using the rubber with the tyre.
There are two rules of thumb that have been given in comparing the density of materials i.e. titanium is nearly half the density of steel and that of aluminum is about one third the density of steel. Any heavy and weak material is considered bad but for a strong and light material is considered good.
The study has been focused on the UK reservoirs and their impacts on the surrounding environments. From the study it can be opined and concluded that the use of reservoirs proves to be highly significant for several purposes and thus the protection and safety of the reservoirs also finds sincere consideration by the government of a nation like the UK.
The research throws light on solar energy as a renewable source of power that derives from the light and heat energy generated by our Sun. Common solar power based technologies in use in the UK are solar photovoltaics in the form of panels or roof tiles for producing electricity and solar water heating installations or 'thermal collectors' for producing heat.
Although the working population in the construction sector is only about 10%, it still accounts for 30% of the work casualties and 40% of the fatalities in Japan. Hong Kong has the highest construction hazard rates. Falls from height, crashes, excavation accidents, being hit by an object, etc are common construction hazards.
This paper aims at investigating the specific use of thermoset polymer material with specific focus on polymer related issues. The focus will then be shifted to FRP composites as a material for the manufacture of structural elements, describing its properties, the process of manufacturing that are relevant to bridge engineering, and assortment of tendons, cables, bridge deck systems, and structural profiles.
Through the research it has been the attempt to focus on the issue of sustainable housing. The paper gives some examples of Eco friendly constructions in United Kingdom. On the basis of this discussion the paper concludes with the view that the well-being of future generation should be taken into consideration by the construction industry.
This research is being carried out to evaluate the performance of the power system in terms of the energy required to manufacture it and where this energy can be recouped over a fifteen year life and to design a sewage system capable of dealing with the 18 people residing on site bearing in mind that the centre is in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The problem statement for this study is to discuss the nature of design and construction works to be undertaken for commercial development and present the challenges and opportunities faced by the construction industry in UK. Meanwhile, this paper would present a descriptive report on the actual site visit conducted by the researcher.

New and Emerging Energy Supply Technologies
The necessity to create and develop new and cleaner supply of energy is both an imperative of environmental conservation and economics. The urgency of creating and developing new energy supply is urgent due to the damage wrought by the excessive carbon emission of the past and present energy technologies that caused irreversible climate change and other irreversible damage to the environment..

The history and features of the structure are analyzed in accordance with the prevailing political atmosphere of the Kingdom, with respect to principles of construction business management.
The Great Escape is one of the books/ movies that tend to talk about some of the project lessons. Actually, the movie is based on construction as one of its major themes. There are very many projects in the engineering sector and they tend to correlate. Project Phoenix is a SETI project in relation to engineering and is set to research on celestial intelligence of thorough analysis of patterns found in different electrical devices such as radio signals.
According to this research the emergent technologies in commercial construction offer retaining the way of life and comfort instead of forgoing certain pleasures for the sake of energy conservation. However, it is essential to note that the modern lifestyle is wasteful by nature; hence, sustainable planning in construction helps reduce the waste.
According to the research findings the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the guidelines for the total elimination of chromate conversion coatings (CCC) in protecting aluminum alloys against corrosion. This has led to increased research in the search for urgent and appropriate replacement for the chromate conversion coatings.
