Engineering characteristics of concrete made of desert sand from Maowusu sandy land Baohong Jina, Jianxia Song b, Haifeng LIU c Department of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering, Ningxia University, Yinchuan750021, China a jinbaohong@163.com, b songjx9903@163.com, c liuhaifeng1557@163.com Keywords: concrete; Maowusu sandy land; engineering properties; desert sand Abstract: The desert sand from Maowusu sandy land is very fine aggregate.
To apply the desert sand to concrete in civil engineering, concrete specimens made of the desert sand had been tested in order to clarify its engineering characteristics.
The results of the tests indicated that the desert sand could be used as a fine aggregate in concrete for general civil engineering.
The study on the mechanical characteristics of concrete made of desert sand from Maowusu sandy land indicated that the desert sand could be used as engineering sand in general civil engineering [1].
To meet the requirement of civil engineering construction for fine aggregate in these regions, decreasing the transportation of the ordinary fine aggregate, protecting natural environment, reasonably using local desert sand resources, reducing the construction cost, the engineering properties of the desert sand in these regions were investigated.

The aim objective of ICKEM 2014 is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in Key Engineering Materials.

Safe and Effective Way to Using Urban Sites of Ground Fracture Guang Yao Fu1,a, Fan Sheng Zeng2,b and Min Tian2,c 1College of Civil Engineering, Chang'an University, Xi'an 710061, China 2China Northwest Building Design Research Institute, Xi'an 710003, China afugy610@sohu.com, bZFS5765@163.com, ctianmintm@126.com Keywords: Building structural safety; City planning; Civil engineering; required secure distance Abstract.
Speaking of the existence ground fracture disaster's city, have to ensure the safety of various types of civil engineering structures, and also be effective to use city land, this is the problem which need civil engineers to research and solves.
Like Xian, a cultural city with thousands of years of history, while the now in construction of modernization, we can pass those passing by, both to guarantee the safety of all kinds of civil engineering structures and effective use of urban land?
If analyzes from the structure reliable aspect, is not difficult to discover that “Specification for site investigation and engineering design on Xi’an ground fractures” is some insufficient in the theory.
Specification for Site Investigation and Engineering Design on Xi’an Ground Fractures.

This volume papers introduce readers to the last research and achievements in the area of materials for mechanical engineering, modern structural elements and technologies for civil and road engineering.
This book will be interesting for scientists and engineers who work with modern engineering materials for roads and constructions.

When the beginning of the fault diagnosis of in-flight shutdown of civil aviation engines, Bayesian Network should be constructed .According to in-flight shutdown fault data of civil aviation engine.

Selection and Durability of Stainless Steels for Civil Engineering Applications Jürgen Mietz1,a* and Andreas Burkert1,b 1Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), Division 7.6 Corrosion and Corrosion Protection, Unter den Eichen 87, 12205 Berlin, Germany ajuergen.mietz@bam.de, bandreas.burkert@bam.de Keywords: Stainless steel, civil engineering, atmospheric corrosion, corrosion resistance, durability Abstract.
Introduction While in former times stainless steels have been used in civil engineering mainly because of aesthetic reasons, today also economical considerations often play a significant role.
In comparison to the commonly used austenitic stainless steels for applications in civil engineering the family of duplex stainless steels offers some interesting options.
To improve the knowledge about the practical experiences in civil engineering application long-term exposure tests with potentially suitable alloys of different groups of materials (ferrite, austenite, duplex) fulfilling the different custom requirements with respect to corrosion protection and simultaneously represent an interesting alternative in terms of price for the particular application were carried out.
