To study the anti-seismic performance of the viscous damper and the E shaped steel bearing on the continuous girder bridge, two models of the Taibai bridge located in Xi’an are analyzed by the nonlinear time-history method and the Midas/Civil software, considering the interaction between pile and soil.
Introduction With rapid development of bridge engineering, various devices are used to improve the anti-seismic performance of bridge [1].
Based on the practical background, this paper analyzes the Taibai bridge by the Midas/Civil software and studies anti-seismic performance of the viscous damper and the E shaped steel bearing by the nonlinear time-history method, in the longitudinal direction of the bridge.
Fig. 1 The E shaped steel bearing Fig. 2 The viscous damper Computational Models The Taibai bridge located in Xi’an is a three-span continuous girder bridge which is used as the computational models by the Midas/Civil software, considering the interaction between piles and soil. the spans are respectively 48m, 66m and 48m.There are two models to be established, the one is the bridge installed the common pot bearings (considering the 4, 5 and 6 piers as the fixed piers and the rest as active piers), called as model1; the other is the bridge installed the E shaped steel bearings on the 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 piers and the viscous damper on the rest piers, called as model 2.
The finite element model is shown in Fig. 3 Fig. 3 The finite element model of the bridge Results and Analysis According to the seismic wave provided by the local seismological bureau and the design requirements, the two models are analyzed to obtain the following results by the Midas/Civil software, under the E2 earthquake action [2].

The full-recycled aggregate concrete was developed for the sustainable development in civil engineering, in which the coarse aggregate was the recycled aggregate made of abandoned concrete, and the fine aggregate was the machine-made sand.
Introduction Recycled coarse aggregate is made of the waste concrete from dismantled building structures or other civil engineering infrastructures.
Here, full-recycled aggregate concrete means that the aggregate of concrete was all of the recycled aggregate, and the fine aggregate was the machine-made sand which is another eco-building material for sustainable development in civil engineering.

Its primary aim is to develop a systematic geotechnical database and relevant geotechnical maps which can be readily used by practitioners across civil and geotechnical engineering sectors without undertaking new geotechnical exploration.
By studying and interpreting soils and rocks for the purpose of planning and developing civil structures, applied geology plays a crucial part in the planning and administration of urban areas [4].
A method was created by [11] which consists of a GIS-based geotechnical information system designed to provide geological and geotechnical information and detailed analysis of the main geotechnical properties of rocks and soils, to assist geotechnical investigations related to civil engineering and building projects
There was also considerable heterogeneity in the methods used, which necessitated limiting the data to be included in the database to key parameters, such as: Good depth of soil or soil of good quality, H (m): It is also one of the most critical parameters when coming to the design and execution of any kind of civil engineering work.

Long-Term Performance Research on Reinforced Concreted Beams with Pre-Stressed CFRP Plate Kefeng Zhou1,a, Yuzhi Li, Baojing Zhang1,b, 1School of Traffic and Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science and Technology Changsha, Hunan 410011, china a zkfsly780623@126.com,bsun870503@163.com Keywords: long-term test reinforce pre-stressed CFRP plate Abstract: With the continuous development of science and technology, the method of using the pre-stressed carbon fiber on the concrete structure, in particular on the bridge structure has become a research direction by the domestic and foreign scholars.
In this paper, it has done the long-term test for the civil carbon fiber in the library on the base of the research of reinforced concreted beams with pre-stressed CFRP plate, and has observed the slip of the carbon fiber fixed on the side of the tension anchor.
The results showed that: when put 50% of the ultimate stress of the carbon fiber on the carbon fiber, under the action of long-term tension, the variation of carbon fiber and the slip of the carbon fiber fixed on the side of tension anchor can all achieve intended purpose of the experimen ,which provides the theoretical data on the long-term performance research of the civil carbon fiber reinforced on the concrete structures.
The material parameter is as follows: Tab.1 Material parameters of a carbon fiber board produced domestically tensile strength (MPa) elastic modulus (GPa) elongation (%) 2510 165 1.7 1.2 Experimental device This test uses an institute of Civil Engineering, we have developed a national patent tensioned pre0stressed carbon fiber plate and anchoring device for carbon fiber sheets were tension and anchoring.
Conclusions (1) From the near Anchorage supports anchorage of carbon fiber sheet slip, can we see the anchoring device developed by the School of Civil Engineering, we have a better anchoring effect.

That is why it is not only usable in the civil engineering sector (buildings, bridges, chimneys etc.), but also in city urbanism (pedestrian wind comfort and wind safety, dispersion of air pollutants), aircraft and automotive industries.
