Pile grouting technology is widely used in engineering to effectively improve the vertical bearing capacity, in this paper; we made a comparative study on the bearing capacity of grouting pile and General pile in Wuqing district Tianjin City.
It has been widely used in highway, railway, ports and civil engineering with various forms of Pile Foundation Construction.
Practice has proved that using this method to improve the performance pile can achieved remarkable results and can improve the skin friction and end resistance, this helps to improve the vertical bearing capacity of piles and pile foundation engineering safety factor.
This paper use a coastal engineering, made the corresponding exploratory comparative pilot study for grouting and grouting for non-bearing capacity of bored piles, to provide the basis for the ultimate bearing capacity of bored pile after determining pressure for the pile.

So, the change of groundwater’s causticity caused by the site hydrologic geologic conditions should be considered at engineering design time.
The main engineering geologic condition of this site is that the stratum is made up with Earth fill, Pleistocene strata and Tertiary mudstone.
At engineering design time, the change of groundwater’s causticity caused by the site hydrologic geologic conditions should be considered.

Introduction Major civil engineering structures are apt to be damaged because of long-term load and emergencies.
In practical engineering structure, once the underlying floors are damaged, it will result in immeasurable loss.

USA In 2004, researchers from the National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (Idaho) have developed and implemented a methodology for calculating the gross, available and economical hydropower potential [17].
To identify prospective SHPP sites authors use ecological (hydropower development in national parks is restricted), economical (distance to infrastructure objects, such as roads, power lines, settlements etc.; specific investment costs per 1 kW of installed capacity, reservoir civil works) and technical (geotechnical conditions) criteria.
However, it may significantly reduce and simplify prefeasibility studies for large study areas, allowing local authorities, stakeholders and engineers to concentrate their efforts on prospective sites, identified by researchers.

Introduction Titanium and its alloys have been identified as one of the best engineering metals for applications in industrial fields such as the aviation, automotive, medical industries [1].
According to [3] good corrosion resistance and low specific gravity are the most important material properties for civil engineering.
In European civil engineering (Fig. 1c), titanium is a relatively new material.
Examples of applications of titanium in civil engineering: a) Fukuoka Dome in Japan [24], b) Kyushu National Museum in Japan [25], c) Guggenheim Museum in Spain [26] Goal and scope of work The aim of this study was to determine the shear resistance of joints made of titanium alloy grade 5 sheets joined by resistance spot welding (RSW) and assess the feasibility of a beam structure made of titanium alloy grade 5 sheets.
