Abstract. Sir Alec Westley Skempton (4 June 1914–9 August 2001) was an English civil engineer and Professor of Soil Mechanics at Imperial College London from 1955 and Head of Department until he retired in 1981. He is often referred to as one of the founding fathers of soil mechanics in the UK and around the world and as one of the most important engineers of the 20th century. Skempton established the soil mechanics course at Imperial College London and not only helped to drive forward understanding of soil behaviours through his research and consultancy work, but also was a reference and inspiration for several engineering generations he taught. He was knighted at the New Year's Honours in 2000 for his services as engineer. He was also a notable contributor to the history of British civil engineering.

Abstract : Cost Estimating of the upper structure on each construction project is usually done by the civil engineer or architect. However, as the development of science, new professions such as Quantity Surveyor have shifted the task of civil engineering or architects in making cost estimates. The QS profession is a profession that has the ability to analyze the cost and practical components of theproject's physical construction work in a successful way so as to apply its analytical results in solving the problems typical for each project. The case study of this research is the top structural work on the accent Apartments built on an area of ± 3,300 m2 with a building area of ± 27,000 m2. Research methodology by literature study and The Accent volume calculation using standard measurement method (SMM), while for unit price partly taken from the reference of PU Permen 2007. From the analysis of volume calculation and unit price analysis, the total cost of the structural work top of Rp. 51,162,851,482.23 with the price per m2 is 2.084,412.47 / m2. Duration of implementation is for 16 months. For cash flow, cash in consists of a 10% down payment, 5% retention, monthly employment progress minus downpayment and retention, and an office cash loan of Rp.6,000,000,000.00 in which the cash is Rp.2,000,000,000.00 per month.Keywords : cost estimating, quantity surveyor, volume, upper structure, ApartementAbstrak: Estimasi biaya pekerjaan struktur atas pada setiap proyek konstruksi biasanya dilakukan oleh civil engineer atau arsitek. Namun, seiring berkembangnya ilmu pengetahuan, profesi baru seperti Quantity Surveyor telah menggeser tugas civil engineering atau arsitek dalam melakukan estimasi biaya. Studi kasus penelitian ini adalah pekerjaan struktur atas pada Apartemen The Accent yang dibangun pada lahan seluas ±3.300 m2 dengan luas bangunan ±27.000 m2. Metodologi penelitian dilakukan dengan cara studi literatur dan melakukan perhitungan volume menggunakan standar measurement method (SMM), sedangkan untuk harga satuannya sebagian diambil dari acuan Permen PU 45/PRT/M/2007.  Dari hasil analisa perhitungan didapat total biaya keseluruhan pekerjaan struktur atas sebesar Rp. 51,162,851,482.23 dengan harga per m2 nya adalah 2,084,412.47/m2. Durasi pelaksanaan adalah selama 16 bulan. Untuk cash flow, cash in terdiri atas uang muka sebesar 10%, retensi sebesar 5%, progress pekerjaan bulanan dikurangi uang muka dan retensi, dan peminjaman kas kantor sebanyak Rp.6,000,000,000.00 yang mana cairnya dana adalah sebesar Rp.2,000,000,000.00 per bulannya.Kata kunci : Estimasi biaya, Quantity Surveyor, Volume, Struktur atas, Apartemen

Agustín de Betancourt y Molina was one of the most distinguished engineers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with numerous contributions to various fields of engineering, including civil engineering. This research shows the process followed in the documentation of the cultural heritage of that Canary engineer, especially in the geometric documentation of a machine for cutting grass in waterways presented in England in 1795 after three years researching on theory of machines. The baseline information has been recovered from the Canary Orotava Foundation of History of Science who has spent years collecting information about the Project Betancourt, in particular, planimetric information as well as a small report on its operation and description of parts of machine. From this information, we have constructed a three dimensional (3D) model using CAD techniques with the use of Solid Edge ST7 parametric software, which has enabled the team to create the 3D model as well as different detail plans and exploded views.

Sir William Glanville, who died on 30 June 1976, was a pioneer in the modern age of civil engineering which developed after World War I. Before that, apart from the introduction of new materials, cast iron, wrought iron, mild steel and reinforced concrete, all of which in their turn, in the hands of brilliant and daring designers, made new forms of structure possible, there had been little advance in the basic art of the civil engineer for a hundred years. Truly empirical methods, which were so valuable in the development of mechanical and electrical engineering, were ruled out by the magnitude of the products—roads, bridges, dams, sea defences and the like—of what is now classed as civil engineering, while the dearth of suitable instruments had made full-scale testing impossible. William Henry Glanville, who was born on 1 February 1900, was the only son of a London builder of Cornish extraction. He was educated at Kilburn Grammar School and after a brief period of army service at the end of World War I he became a student at East London College (Queen Mary College), University of London, from which he graduated in 1922 with a first class honours degree in civil engineering. Instead of seeking practical experience on site or in the office of a practising civil engineer he took what was then the unusual step of going straight into a research establishment.
