They found that, four engineering departments are widely using Microsoft spreadsheet i.e. mechanical, chemical, electronics and civil engineering.
They finally concluded that, the necessity of using Microsoft Excel in any education stages engineering [4].
In this research, the Microsoft Excel program expressions were employed for civil engineers to calculate some of the soil parameters easily for deferent soil types.

Within the field of Civil Engineering Materials, a use for a range of industrial waste products as substitutes has been found which are as effective as standard construction materials but which have the bonus of providing an ecologically sound alternative for materials that would otherwise become an environmental concern.
However, composites manufactured with polymer resins may show flammability restrictions, which in turn could limit their applicability in civil construction [3].
It is hoped that this composition can contribute to the study of new materials that can support sustainable, innovative practices in the civil construction sector Experimental Program This study investigated the properties of polymer concrete produced with polyester resin, partially derived from recycled PET with the addition of polishing alumina, aiming to broaden the knowledge of this material for use in the civil construction industry.

Introduction Soil bioengineering or using vegetation in civil engineering structures is now an established practice in many parts of the world [1].
Until recently, relatively little information, of relevance to the civil engineer, was known about the properties between the roots of vegetations and the soil surrounded.
The lack of precise information on the properties between the plant roots and the soil surrounded has possibly discouraged the use of soil bioengineering with civil engineers preferring exact numbers to enable quantification for design to take place [3].

Deformation Monitoring For Subway Tunnels Based on TLS Guizhen He1,a, Jun Yang2,b 1 School of Civil Engineer and Architecture, East China Jiaotong University, Nanchang, 330013,China 2 Jiangxi Gongtuo Industrial Co.
Besides, with the quick development of public facilities, more and more civil engineering construction must lead to the deformation of the adjacent subway tunnel.
During the construction of periphery foundation ditch engineering and tunnel engineering, how to guarantee the safety of the subway tunnel has been the severe difficulty needed to be solved.
This technology is well suited for many applications: industrial, architectural, civil surveying, urban topography, reverse engineering, archaeology.

Aviation maintenance human error analysis and management method Chen Bin International Flight Academy，Civil Aviation University of China，Tianjin 300300，China 601955167@qq.com Keywords: Aviation maintenance; human error; KYT; management and control.
Aviation security is a constant theme in civil aviation enterprises and also an extremely serious problem focused about by the countries all over the world .Not only it concerns the credibility and economic issues in airlines ,but also a matter of life and death .Generally ,aviation security problems are mostly caused by errors in aeronautical repair ,most of which are man-made .Small man-made error can lead to machinery damage and aircraft delay ,and big man-made error can lead to crashing to death ,which is the last result all the people want to see .This is why we discuss aviation repair error and safety management ,being responsible for life[1] .
The production mechanism of aviation maintenance error is multilayered and complicated ,but it is as a result of interaction between people and hardware ,people and software ,people and environment in the final from the view of system and engineer .In these factors ,the software and environment are the secondary factors and the hardware mechanical failure is an important reason for flight accident ,but People is the most active and prominent factor in aviation maintenance process and also the main reason for flight accident .

Environmentally friendly materials (such as diatoms mud wall material) can effectively control formaldehyde, radon, and TVOC concentrations in artificial board (such as MDF, composite wood flooring, particleboard, etc.) and stone (such as marble, tile, concrete etc.) and meet the national standard "civil indoor environmental pollution control" (GB50325) requirements.

Thus it is important to cultivate people's awareness of environmental protection which is the root of green residential design. 1At the end of 2004, China's urban construction area was 9.62 billion m2, newly-built urban residential area was 570 million m2, and rural residential area was 680 million m2. 2Standard Coal means heat of 1kg of coal is 8.14kW·h 3"According to the analysis, 2000-2015 is the middle and later period of civil construction.
By 2015, half of civil buildings will have been built after 2000."

It starts with a broad introduction to civil air transport, followed by a detailed description of the design process and a description of aircraft layout procedures.
Weights The weight engineers are always fighting a battle against increased weight from the technical and design offices.
The weight engineers' dream aircraft would be made as small as possible and would resemble a light model aircraft structure.
Weight is regarded by the designers as one of the principal engineering groups.
