Development and Application of Eco-Friendly Concrete Zhuguo Li Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Yamaguchi University, 2-16-1,Tokiwadai, Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, 755-8611, Japan li@yamaguchi-u.ac.jp Key words: Eco-friendly concrete, Environmental load, Environmental Creation, High performance concrete, Porous concrete, Waste utilization Abstract.
This combination of natural resource and energy’s consumption and carbon footprint deserves the serious attention of all civil engineers.
The civil engineering community is not idle on these concerns.
However, civil engineering community has already realized that taking on the responsibility of reducing the environmental burden of concrete industry through above methods to protect global and local environments is not enough, there is also a responsibility of using concrete to create pleasant local environment for contributing to sustainable society.
Researchers and engineers in the field of concrete have been making efforts to deveop high performance concrete to lower the environmental burden in the life cycle through reducing the maitaince or volume of concrete structural member, to use recycling material to produce concrete to the environmental burden caused by the use of natural resource and the landfill, and to utilize special concrete such as porous concrete to create pleasant local environment and inhabitant of creatures.

In general, the shear flow forces will be acting in an infinite number of shear planes and it will not be possible not only in defining the critical planes due to the complicated combined loads in an engineering judgement but also in installing the reinforcing bars at several planes in terms of the governing the design.

Investigation on Aerodynamic Configuration of Monitoring Long Endurance UAV Dongli Maa, Yuhang Qiao*, b, Muqing Yangc School of Aeronautic Science and Engineering, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing 100191, China amadonglibuaa@126.com, bqyuhangxp@hotmail.com, cqingfengrumu@163.com Keywords: Monitoring; UAV; Long endurance; High lift-drag ratio; High reliability.
In recent years, monitoring long endurance UAV is widely used in civil fields such as earthquake relief, it has certain particularities in comparison with conventional UAV; this paper studied and summarized its key technologies in aerodynamic configuration.
However, this geometric twist is short of engineering feasibility, consequently, aerodynamic twist and geometric twist should be optimized simultaneity to improve engineering feasibility in further research.
