Abstract: Because it is difficult to monitor the quality of gravel pile (the length, the diameter) in composite foundation, the method of radar is put forward. Numerical simulations of radar monitoring on flexural pile are processed. The results show that the method of radar monitoring can be used to check the quality of gravel piles (length, diameter) accurately. Then this technology is applied in some highway project. By comparing with the results of another company, the characteristics including high precision and speed are found. So the technology can be far and wide used.

Abstract: In this paper, the combination of antenna array detection method of ground penetrating radar is put forward to solve the actual engineering problem that it is difficult to monitor the length of CFG pile. The experiments of length of six CFG piles find that the relative error of the length is 5.26%. The result indicates that it is enough reliable to determine the pile length by using the GPR method and can meet the engineering needs. Furthermore, the effect of the mix proportion, moisture content on the monitoring quality is obtained.

Abstract: In this paper, , the combination of antenna array detection method of ground penetrating radar is put forward to solve the actual engineering problem that is difficult to monitor the integrity of the flexural pile composite foundation. The experiments of defects of six tamping soil cement piles find that the relative error of the pile position of defects is 5.25%. The result indicates that it is enough reliability to determine the pile defects by using the GPR method and can meet the engineering needs. Furthermore, the effect of age of cement, the ration between soil and cement, depth and types of defects on the monitoring quality is obtained.

Abstract: In order to determine the content of nitrogen in culture medium at different culture time and compare the nitrogen use efficiency of various plantlets in vitro, near infrared spectroscopy technique and image analysis technique with multi-references were used to obtain the successive information of nitrogen consumption. The models between spectral information and nitrogen content in the medium were established via the partial least squares method together with artificial neural networks. They were used to predict the content of nitrogen in nine test samples. The result showed that the nitrogen use efficiency of incised leaf-type Atractylodes lancea was higher than that of long lanceolate leaf-type, and that of Orychophragmus violaceus was lower than that of Brassica napus. It suggested that the physiological function of the incised Atractylodes lancea was better than that of the long lanceolate.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a dynamic Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) image reconstruction algorithm based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF) to estimate the rapidly time-varying changes in the permittivity within the time taken to acquire a full set of independent measurement data. The ECT inverse problem is formulated as a state estimation problem in which the system is modeled with the state equation and the observation equation. Computer simulation with synthetic data is provided and comparison is done with existing modified Newton Raphson (mNR) method to illustrate the reconstruction performance of the proposed algorithm.
