One might consider the use of satellite positioning signals, adopted in the “so called” differential mode, for evaluating the relative displacements of points of a natural or an artificial system like a civil infrastructure or a building.
This can be used in engineering practice to produce vibration control, noise reduction or other useful application.
Some basic demonstrators have shown that such concepts can be implemented in the real engineering practice.

The Dynamic Characteristic and Response’s Discussion of External Prestressing Curved Beam Minyuan Huang1,2 1College of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Hunan, Changsha, 410004, China 2College of Civil Engineering, Hunan University, Hunan, Changsha, 410082, China Hmy555@163.com Keywords: External Prestressing Curved Beam, Natural Frequency, Resonance Prevention, Dynamic Characteristic, Dynamic Response, Model Test Abstract.
With the rapid development of structural engineering, aspects of curved beam’s design and construction become more numerous.
Engineers hope to improve the mechanical properties by effective means, in order to enhance the durability and prolong the service life of curved girder.
To address quality problems and continue to undertake mission, the external prestressing technology as repair means is effectively applied to reinforcement engineering of the curved beam [3].
With modernization process of engineering technology, the trend of external prestressing beam will be extremely rapid and large-scale development and as well as be used broad in the future.
