The positioning of WSN has advantages with a small amount of civil works and 3D-positioning function without laying cable (fiber optic cable) or mechanical transmission, etc..
Complex structure monitoring model based on Interpolating Boundary Element-free Method is given combined with actual engineering in part 5.
He completed his B.S. degree in mechanical engineering with high honors from the Hohai University in 1995.
He graduated from Hohai University with a M.S. degree in 2006, conducting research in intelligent monitoring systems and Engineering Mechanics.
He is now a postdoctoral in Nanjing University of Science and Technology, and senior engineer engaged in Nanjing Automation Institute of Water Conservancy & Hydrology.

Hence, reducing the use of cement or adopting a cement-free process became the new direction of environmental engineering development.
Research groups of civil and environmental engineers collaborated with microbiologists and geochemists, and successfully utilized bacteria to solidify sandy soils into materials that could be used as roadbeds or concrete reparation (1-5).
The focus of this research was to explore methods to solidify sediments or soil particles into usable material with the growth of microorganisms, and further incorporate this process into actual and profitable engineering procedures.
Therefore, this engineering procedure had become a new topic of research, and may be considered as an environmentally sustainable method to reuse reservoir sediments.

These industrial wastes belong to inorganic gelling materials, which can be used to cooperate with cement, lime to modify the poor soil in the traditional curing technology engineering.
Experiments were conducted according to Geotechnical Engineering Test Method and Criterion (GB/T50123-1999), and the physical properties indexes are listed as table 1.
The test procedure was guided by ‘Geotechnical Engineering Test Method and Criterion’ (GB/T50123－1999), and each ratio and the curing age did parallel test by using three groups of sample.

Finally, the experimental results showed that mechanical properties of such nodes are well and can be applied in engineering practice.
Such connections can be applied in engineering practice and meet the seismic design principles of “strong column, weak beam, node stronger”.
The results provide reference for the theoretical analysis and the solution has an important practical value for engineering application
