Study on Cost Management under EPC General Contracting Model Zhong Jinru School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, East China Jiaotong University Nan Chang, JiangXi Province, China Email:guangge760306@163.com Keywords: Project Management, EPC, Price Control Abstract.
Features of EPC Construction Project EPC stands for engineering, procurement and construction.
EPC contracting mode mainly aims to forward the early combination of engineering and construction so as to altogether enhance the economy of the project.
Allowing for the bundle mode of engineering and construction, it is better to adopt selective tendering rather than discussing bidding or pubic bidding.

Beijing, PRC astarrybluewong@gmail.com Key words: bridge engineering; concrete bridges; durability index; code comparison Abstract: This article surveys and studies the design, construction and verification codes related to durability of concrete bridges both home and abroad, contrastively analyzes their requirements on environmental effect, durability design, construction and testing indices, and finally brings up the durability index system suitable for Chinese concrete bridges which covers the four hierarchies of environment, material, components and structure, and also considers the three phases of design, construction and verification.
The minimal cementitious materials contents in "Specification of high durability concrete design and construction for bridge structures" (DB 23/T087-2002) of Heilongjiang Province are normally higher than the minimal cement content in "Code for Design of Concrete Structures" by two to three levels; the minimal cement contents for some environmental condition in "Corrosion Prevention Technical Specifications for Concrete Structures of Marine Harbour Engineering" are even higher by four levels.
Although each of the classification method has its own advantages, it is inconvenient for the engineers to use.
