An Improved Two-Dimensional Constitutive Law for Shape Memory Alloys Wei Wang1a , Shi Yan 2b, Gangbing Song3c and Li Jiao 2d 1 School of Civil & Hydraulic Engineering, Dalian University of Technolog 2 Sch. of Civil Engrg., Shenyang Jianzhu Univ., 9 Hunnan Esat Rd., Shenyang, LN 110168， China; 3 Dept. of Mech.
Introduction Shape memory alloys (SMA) have a number of unique properties such as shape memory effect (SME), super elasticity effect (SE) and biocompatibility, which make shape memory alloys have been used in various fields like civil engineering, medical and bionics.
To study the SMAs sheet with a round hole on the flat board, in particular, the stress distribution around the hole, as well as phase-change study, whether in basic mechanical research or engineering applications are very meaningful.
Although some two-dimensional constitutive laws were investigated, such as the Boyd and Lagoudas model for SMAs[6], they are too complicated in expression and difficult in the determination of parameters to apply easily in engineering and need to be improved or simplified for further application in the future.

Beneficial Reuse of Reservoir Sediments in Concrete Production Natalia Junakova1,a, Jozef Junak1,b 1Technical University of Kosice, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Institute of Environmental Engineering, Vysokoskolska 4, 042 00 Kosice, Slovakia anatalia.junakova@tuke.sk, bjozef.junak@tuke.sk Keywords: bottom sediment, replacement, compressive strength, flexural strength Abstract.
Application of sediments as a component in civil engineering In this study, coarse-grained sediments were used as a partial substitute of natural aggregate (fraction 0-4 mm) and fine-grained sediments collected by the dam were used as a partial cement replacement in concrete production.
Based on the study of physical and chemical properties of sediments, they were used as a component in civil engineering.
