Abstract: For the long journey of Thai’s economy, tourism sector is one of the major source of revenue even in the period of crisis or in the midst of the turbulence time. Especially, in the past two decades, the major economic factors including exchange rate, economic growth and political condition become more volatile but the foreign tourism revenue still growing with positive trend. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to explore the impacts of the changing in macroeconomic factors on foreign tourism revenue and sector output in Thailand after the financial crisis in 1997. In order to achieve the objective, the analytic framework was set up based on the estimation of behavioral equation and the calculation of input-output table. For the first step, the behavioral equation of foreign tourism revenue was specified and estimated by OLS together with the Engle and Granger cointegration test. Based on the annual data during 1998-2013, foreign tourists income, Thai’s economic growth, exchange

Abstract: The design of structures for buildings and bridges is mainly concerned with the provision and support of load-bearing horizontal surfaces. These floors or decks are usually made of reinforced concrete as it satisfies the criteria of low cost, high strength, and resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and fire. Moreover the beams are also of concrete, so the monolithic nature of the construction makes it possible for a substantial breadth of slab to act as the top flange of the beam that supports it. At large spans and particularly where the susceptibility of steel to damage by fire is not a problem, for example in bridges and multi-storey car parks, steel beam becomes cheaper than concrete beam. By development of shear connectors, it is practicable to connect the slab to the beam so as to obtain the Tbeam action as in concrete construction. Composite construction has proven popular because it combines structural efficiency with speed of construction to offer an economic solution for a wide
