Cast House Challenges Specifically for the cast house, the client had important design criteria that had to be respected in the engineering phase.
Cast House Engineering Solios Thermal, was chosen to be part of the clients engineering team because of its extensive experience in cast houses.
The engineering contract was for the preparation and development of the complete cast house layout, water cooling system, basement, casting pit, and building design with sufficient detail to allow local civil engineering contractors and other suppliers to accurately bid for detail civil design work and ancillaries.
Turnkey Contract In addition to involvement in the cast house engineering process, Solios Thermal were contracted to supply key cast house equipment.
Plant Construction From the cast house engineering exercise, sufficient information was given to the civil engineers to start the detail design.

Influence of variable temperature curing on mechanical properties of fly ash concrete Yading Zhaoa ,Xueying Lib,Lingchao Kongc and Wei Dud School of Civil Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, 150001, China.
Introduction With the rapid development of civil engineering, construction and applications of mass concrete in winter become increasingly common[1-6].
But the hydration of cement and the change of construction environment have a marked effect on internal concrete and the concomitant property, moreover, which decides the lifetime and using security of civil engineering[7-10].
To simulate practical engineering, it is studied that the mechanical properties including compressive strength, flexural strength and dynamic elastic modulus of concrete with the percentages of fly ash separately being 0,30%,50%.

Behaviour Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Deck-Tied Arch Bridge Yiqiang Xiang1,a ,Lichang Zhang1,b and Qiangqiang Wu1,c 1College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China aemail: xiangyiq@zju.edu.cn, b* email: zhanglichang6626@126.com, c.wuqiang_qiang@126.com Keywords: Bridge engineering, Prestressed Concrete, Deck-tied arch bridges, behaviour, Analysis Abstract.
Taking Yingbin Bridge as engineering background, the reasonable analysis model was established and behaviour of the bridge under design load was analyzed.
Huang S.A. used Midas/Civil analyzing the tied arch bridge with steel box arch and studied the bridge’ behaviour during construction and operation[2].
This article takes the urban bridge -Yingbin Bridge as an example of engineering background, the static behavior was analyzed by combining with its structure design.
Engineering Background Design Parameters of Bridge.

Based on a general assessment of the coatings being adopted by civil engineers as a function of the aggressive agents, Almusallam et al. (2003) classified protective concrete coatings [7].
An important contribution to research into concrete durability has thus been made, increasing the interaction among diverse applications, especially the engineering of materials and civil engineering.
