Research on Bending Performance of Continuous Composite Girder Bridge with Corrugated Steel Webs Dalong Ren1, 2, a and Fenghua Zhao1, b 1 Changzhou Institute of Technology, Changzhou 213002, China 2Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China achongrdl@163.com, bzhaofh@czu.cn Keywords: bridge engineering; corrugated steel web; composite girder; bending performance.
Engineering practice shows [3, 4] that medium and large span bridges have better economic benefit combined with corrugated steel web PC box-girder composite structures, which can reduce the weight of the superstructure, so the materials of substructure decrease and cost of the bridges is lower [5, 6].

A Study on the Characteristic and Properties of Riverbank Soil Samples as RBF Natural Materials from Sungai Perak, Kota Lama Kiri, Kuala Kangsar, Perak Darul Ridzuan, Malaysia Mohd Nordin Adlan1,a *, Mohamad Razip Selamat2,b and Siti Zahirah Othman3,c 1School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia,14300 Nibong Tebal, Seberang Perai Selatan,Penang,Malaysia acenordin@usm.eng.my, b cerazip@usm.eng.my, cira.arepeace@gmail.com Keywords: Sieve analyses, constant head test, particle size distribution (PSD), coefficient of uniformity (Cu), coefficient of gradation (Cc) Abstract.
The soil samples were transported to Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory, School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia and the properties were determined by a series of laboratory test.
The soil samples were transported to the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory in School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) for the soil characteristics investigation which are, sieve analyses and permeability test.
Grain size analyses were carried out in the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory, School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).
Constant head permeability test was conducted for all the soil samples within PW in the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory, School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).

Composite materials are increasingly used in civil field for structural strengthening.
For these reasons, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is becoming more and more important in many applications of civil engineering industry.
Particularly, optical fibers seem to be very suited to the use of the SHM for civil structures, thanks to their intrinsic properties.
Conclusions In this work, an experimental study was performed on a smart device (called Smart Patch - SP) for civil applications, made of an FRP plate with an optical fiber sensor embedded inside during the manufacturing process.
