Introduction
Non-dispersible underwater concrete is described as tremie concrete, and is a new type concrete which can be poured underwater and whose aggregate and cement slurry separate in water is not like normal concrete. [1]
In recent years, the construction of underwater projects is developing prosperously, concrete is still one of the most important and largest demand building materials in underwater engineering and the performance of underwater concrete will directly affect the quality of underwater engineering.
Because of the differences of mechanical property between non-dispersible underwater concrete and normalconcrete, it’s necessary to study the mechanical performance of columns.
The paper will use the experiment analysis way which study the mechanical performance of nomal concrete columns, discuss the mechanical performance features of non-dispersible underwater concrete columns with the experiment of axial compression and eccentric compression and provide a reference for researching non-dispersible underwater concrete.
Finally, taking all factors as a whole, we select secondary anti-washout admixture (UWB-II) which is manufactured by Engineering and Technology Institute of China National Petroleum in 2003.

One of the most important factors is the reaction temperature.
All of them agreed that during the mixing phase the essential part of ammonium is released so the mechanical properties of the final product remained unaffected.
AAC is a lightweight material with remarkable properties such as fire resistance, thermal and sound insulation and very good structural performance.
The final part of the manufacturing process is the hydrothermal treatment of the prepared green bodies, where the material gains its final properties.
Dilmore and Neufeld [16] examined the influence of the contaminated fly ash to mechanical properties and were concerned about the environmental impact of produced AAC.

Introduction
Compared with the noble-metal-based metallic glasses, Cu-based bulk metallic glasses have excellent properties such as high glass forming ability, good mechanical properties and relatively low cost.
Since the successive development of Cu-based bulk metallic glasses by Inoue [1], Johnson and others in the late 90s, much effort [2~4] has been devoted to study the alloy systems, properties and engineering applications of Cu-based bulk metallic glasses.
The ultimate aim of amorphous alloys research is to develop the bulk metallic glasses with high glass forming ability and useful engineering properties.
The alloying elements significantly affected the thermal physical parameters of Cu-based metallic glasses such as crystallization temperatures, glass transition temperatures and liquidus temperatures, which further influenced glass forming ability, thermal stability, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of metallic glasses [5, 6].
It is well known that bulk glassy alloys with high GFA and large supercooled liquid region usually obey the following three factors [7]: (1) multi-component system consisting of more than three elements, (2) significant atomic size mismatches above about 12% among the three main elements and (3) negative heats of mixing among their elements.

Introduction
Titanium and its alloys have been widely used for aerospace, medical, and other applications because of their excellent properties such as high specific strength, good heat resistance and corrosion resistance properties.
Non-uniform green density distribution, coarse particle, gravity and friction are some of the factors that may influence on the distortion of the sintered parts [4].
The average oxygen content was 0.278 mass % after sintering, which is higher than that of the initial powder (0.115 mass %) However, this oxygen content level does not affect the mechanical properties [10].

Material
property data for ABS-HI-121H from LG chemical Co. was supplied by Moldflow.
This may affect the surface morphology change of the product in the smaller cavity.
The resin viscosity would affect the filling-balance in the variable-runner system so that the process parameters influencing the resin viscosity should be considered carefully as the influencing factors to the filling-balance capability of the variable-runner system.
The difference is considered to be affected by the sensitivity of resin viscosity to temperature. 4.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been considered as a suitable polymer in such coatings based on its biocompatibility and mechanical stability [4].
Among biomaterials with bioactive properties, bioactive glasses (BGs) are well known for their ability to interact with biological fluids inducing the formation of a hydroxyapatite (HAp) layer on the surface, which induces effective attachment of bone in vivo [5].
Among the elements that posses a beneficial effect, boron (B) is very interesting for its ability to stimulate wound healing in vivo, to release growth factors and cytokines, to increase the extracellular matrix turnover and for its role in bone physiology and angiogenesis [7, 8].
XRD analysis (Fig. 1c) confirms the presence of hydroxyapatite already after one day of SBF treatment. 45S5-B1 and 45S5-B3 glasses showed the same behaviour, which indicates that the presence of B2O3 does not modify the bioactivity of 45S5 glass and that it can substitute both SiO2 and P2O5 without affecting the glass reactivity.
Immersion tests in SBF demonstrated thus that incorporation of boron to the 45S5 glass composition does not affect its reactivity in SBF solution.

Goldschmidt introduced a tolerance factor (t), defined by RA, RB, RO are the radius of A, B, and O ions, respectively.
In general, the tolerance factor (t) is 0.8These small changes always have an important impact on the physical and chemical properties in the structure of perovskite materials.
Thus contributing to the properties change of oxygen adsorption and desorption and improving the catalytic activity.
Lu et.al [7]used several methods to synthesis LaMn0.8Mg0.2O3, and discovered the different preparation affect crystal structure, particle size and oxygen species in a large degree; consequently affect the methane catalytic activity.
