The renovation, renewal, and maintenance of existing civil infrastructures is, therefore, a primary challenge for researchers and practitioners alike.
Reinforcement corrosion, as the leading deterioration mechanism of civil infrastructure built from reinforced concrete, destroys more than 3% of the world’s GDP [1].
While engineering tools and methods are well developed for the structural design of new structures, tools for assessing current and predicting the future condition of reinforced concrete structures are less advanced.

The book is a comprehensive overview of recent developments of aluminium constructions in both fields of civil and industrial engineering.

This book allows to transfer the up-to-date knowledge from scientist and experts to the common practice, representing a valuable resource for engineers, designers, researchers and students.

Influences of abnormal climates on engineering characteristics of expansive soil Hui Wang 1, 2,a, Jianhua Cheng1,b 1School of Civil Engineering of Henan Polytechnic University,Jiaozuo,Henan,China,454003 2 School of Civil Engineering of Zhengzhou University,Zhengzhou,Henan,China,454000 awanghui9962@hpu.edu.cn, bcheng219@yahoo.cn Keywords: climate change;expansive soil;atmosphere influence depth; swelling and shrinking Abstract: Expansive soil is a kind of high plastic clay which is more sensitive to changes of climatic and hydrogeologic conditions, and it has the character of swelling when watering and shrinking when drying out.
But in the situation of abnormal climate , the depth will exceed original design criterion and lead to hazard engineering accidents.
Therefore, It has great importance in engineering application of studying influence of abnormal climate to engineering characteristics of expansive soil.

Basic provisions on the organization of engineering site preparation should include: advancing the construction of permanent utilities and facilities for the construction of water, heat , steam, compressed air and electricity ; Ahead of off-site and intra- device roads for use in the construction process; anticipatory lining of engineering networks for transport communication, , assembly and storage areas ; lining combined with the construction of engineering networks of underground hour children of buildings and structures ; combined gasket different kinds of utilities outside the zones and under construction projects mounting and storage areas ; organization of production and living conditions on construction sites for the erection of mobile systems from the inventory of buildings, construction in the preparatory period and the use of permanent buildings for the needs of the construction of the existing buildings .
Number of homogeneous sections and the amount of work on them depend on the density of the object settings for synthesizing the entire set of influencing factors : the size and area of the territory ; availability of production , transport and engineering communications; cooperation of the main and auxiliary facilities; composition commissioning of new systems and queues.

Health Condition Prognostics of Complex Equipment Based on Discrete Input Process Neural Networks Ding Ganga, Lei Dab and Yao Weic School of Mechatronics Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Heilongjiang, P.R.
Civil aircraft engines are typical complex equipment and their health conditions are crucial to the aviation safety.
Because of the development and application of health monitoring techniques, airlines can get abundant parameters that represent the health condition of civil aircraft engines, such as exhausted gas temperature (EGT) and fuel flow.
Thus, NN and PNN can be used to model the health degradation of the civil aircraft engines.
And in this section, the DPNN proposed is adopted to predict the future health condition of the civil aircraft engines through the prediction of the EGT time series.
