    The smart city is the trend of globalisation now. Vietnam is a country that is also aiming at this criterion. There are about ten standards to evaluate as a smart city, including related smart infrastructure and structural design analysis field is also in this criterion. The composite material for the present construction structures is considered suitable for the above problem. The component mentioned in this study is a Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) Column. It is part of a column system made of composite materials with hollow cross-sections. This column has three typical shapes: i) circular hollow sections with diameters from 20 mm to 1200 mm; ii) square hollow sections with b widths from 40 mm to 400 mm; iii) rectangular hollow sections with h depths from 50 mm to 500 mm, applied in the top-down construction technology. This is the component that receives the full vertical load of the upper structure in the construction process. In particular, when constructing the underground part, this component often occurs buckling due to the rather large column length compared to its cross-section dimension subjected to axial compression load. In designing and analysing advanced structures, the optimal problem has been considered for the above question. The parameters used for the objective functions and the constraint conditions which in they may be: Geometric size of the column, strength of materials and the magnitude of the axial compression load causes column buckling. In this study, the authors will present how to evaluate the correlation of the above parameters, to find out which parameters affect the buckling load by the Bayesian Model Average (BMA) method. This method is being used powerfully in the field of applied statistics and data analysis. The R programming language is employed for this study.

    This paper reviews and re-assesses the contemporary state of research on Cham cultural heritage sites, which are associated with the pre-modern Champa civilization in Vietnam. For this purpose, architectural heritage, sculptures, and museums related to the potential of common interests are taken into consideration across the intersection of the local Cham community, the Vietnamese government, and international scholars. There are some conflicts between these interested parties, which have resulted from unequal dynamics, which occasionally result in lasting tensions and errors in judgement. Our research findings result in an actionable plan with systematic solutions, which we outline in this paper. We argue the proposed plan will improve the management, conservation, and promote Cham cultural heritage sites more sustainably.
