BAMBOO AS SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL USED IN DESIGN AND CIVIL CONSTRUCTION: SPECIES, MANAGEMENT, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATIONS PEREIRA Marco Antonio dos Reis1,a, BARATA Tomas Queiroz Ferreira2,b 1 Department of Mechanical Engineering Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP Avenida Luiz Edmundo Coube 14-01 Bauru S.P.
This paper's main objective is to introduce the species, the management phases, the physical and mechanical characteristics and the experiences in using bamboo in design and civil construction as per the Bamboo Project implemented at UNESP, Bauru campus since 1994.
The results are divided into: a) Field activities - description of the technological species of interest, production chain flows, types of preservative treatments and clump management practices for the development, adaptation and production of different species of culms; b) Lab experiments - physical and mechanical characterization of culms processed as laminated strips and as composite material (glue laminated bamboo – glubam); c) Uses in projects - experiences with natural bamboo and glubam in design, architecture and civil construction projects.
Field and lab work was done in the Bamboo and Wood Experimentation Laboratory and the Civil Construction Materials Laboratory.
Source: Author Conclusions - Twenty species of bamboo were introduced belonging to the Bambusa, Dendrocalamus, Guadua, Gigantoclhoa and Melocanna genera, all of which presenting good development and adaptation; - The results obtained for GluBam in mechanical strength tests can be considered similar to those for strips with modes, evidence of the notable effect of node presence in GluBam; - The strength values obtained for GluBam make it possible to situate it in reference to wood as having similar quality, or in some cases, even greater quality than reforestation wood, conifers or dicotyledons or even native woods considered light, with possible use as a component for light civil construction, furniture, tool handles, floors, among others; - The interaction with Design and Architecture courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels has provided work with student participation and training, especially geared to the development of products and applications.

Study on the Construction Technology of the Complex Steal Structure of the International Conference Center Wenlei Bao 1, a, Fukui Wang 2,b 1 Gansu Construction Vocational Technical College, Lanzhou 730050 2 Gansu provincial communications industry engineering supervision Limited, Lanzhou 730000 a blbbaj@163.com, b18993132004@189.com Keywords: Steel structure; construction technology; conference center Abstract.
The challenge in civil engineering construction is first to design and then to build, the structure should be of less cost, architecture appearance and ecological sustainability.
Introduction The major challenge in civil engineering is to design and build an economically competitive structure of suitable strength performance which would satisfy the investor’s needs and all the requirements for durability, maintenance, ecological sustainability and architecture appearance[1].
The steel structre is designed by Zhejiang Southern Engineering Company, and finished by Shanghai Construction Company and Guangzhou Construction Company, the supervision company is Guangzhou Supervision Company.

Such beams are used in civil engineering and aircrafts industry as the load-bearing parts.
The other industries, among others civil engineering derive benefits from their experience and technological achievements.
The paper presents analysis of aluminium cellular beam, which can be applied in aerospace industry for aircraft structures such as: floor structure or structural framework, as well as in civil engineering as load-bearing parts.

Recycled tyre rubber has been widely used for civil engineering application such as lightweight concrete and asphalt pavement.
As for civil engineering application, waste tyres have been used and widely investigated to produce rubberized concrete and rubber modified asphalt.
As for highway engineering application, Cao [6] in his research stated that the addition of recycled tyre rubber in asphalt mixtures using dry process could improve the properties of asphalt mixtures.
