The use of dimension stones in architecture and civil engineering implies the knowledge of several mechanical, physical, and chemical properties.
It is hoped that measuring thermal properties on dimension stones will help to better adequate them to their use in civil engineering as well as to adequate their use in terms of a CE product.
Thermal diffusivity (α) depends on the thermal conductivity (K), the bulk density (ρ), and the specific heat capacity (C) of the rock through the equation (1) [1]: (1) Radioactivity of Rocks as a Thermal Property Dimension stones are building materials used in civil engineering and architecture.
Even though it is not a usual practice to measure the concentrations of uranium, thorium and potassium in rocks for civil engineering purposes, it appears that it should be implemented as a routine procedure.
In the same way, granites G2 and G3 present an average quality as well as the limestone C3, which, amongst the limestones of this study, presents the best quality values for civil construction purposes.

Experimental Study on the Interface characteristics of geogrid-reinforced fly ash Wei Shi1,a, Jin Han2,b , Yuanhao Jiang3,c, Yong Bin Li 4,d 1School of Civil Engineering, Qingdao Technological University, Qingdao, 266033, China 2Qingdao Technological University, Qingdao, 266033, China 3Qingdao Public Architectural Design Institute Co., Ltd,266071,China asusan.sw@163.com, bhanjinshitou@163.com, cqdzhao2008@163.com Keywords: geogrid-reinforced fly ash;Drawing characteristic test;Interface parameters Abstract.
The technology of Reinforced soil has been widely used in civil engineering, its theory has some development .
The wet fly ash as a building foundation，reinforcement should be necessary,turning it into a reinforced soil by adding geogrid to fly ash is a possible measure.Reinforced soil technology has been widely used in civil engineering reinforcement, protection and water conservancy, road, railway, coal, construction and other engineering fields,engineering practice and theory have a certain amount of development[1,2],however, this technology applied to the study of fly ash material is very few, the study of pull-out test in the fly ash is particularly important.
In this paper ,the main purpose of pull-out test is to study interface characteristics between the one-way geogrid EG90R and fly ash of different moisture contents and different normal stress ,determine the interface parameters between geogrid and fly ash, provide experimental basis for the stability analysis and practical engineering applications of geogrid reinforced retaining wall .
In practical engineering if you want to increase the packing of the geogrid limit drawing force, it’s preferable to mix with gravel in the filler.

Durability of Natural Fibers for Geotechnical Engineering CARVALHO Raquel1,a, FANGUEIRO Raul1,2,b and NEVES Jorge1,c 1 Center for Textile Science and Technology, University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal 2 Center for Territory, Environment and Construction, University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal a raquelcarvalho@det.uminho.pt, b rfangueiro@civil.uminho.pt, c jgneves@det.uminho.pt Keywords: Natural fibers, geotextiles, durability Abstract.
The use of natural fibers turns engineering work more sustainable, since they are renewable, biodegradable, energy efficient and non-toxic raw materials.
Introduction Planet sustainability is now a common concern in many different areas, including civil engineering, in general, and geotechnical engineering, in particular.
Synthetic fibers are currently the most used in geotextiles for civil engineering where the physical and chemical properties and durability are key requirements of the applications.
