Application of Structural Lightweight Aggregate Concrete in the Pearl River Delta Guo-Fei Zhu1,a, Hong-Zhi Cui1,b 1Shenzhen Durability Center for Civil Engineering, College of Civil Engineering, Shenzhen University, P.
Experiment research and engineering practice has proved that the mechanical properties and durability of structural LWAC can completely meet the engineering requirements.
Application of precast structural member in architectural engineering can effectively increase construction efficiency, and material quality is very easy to control.
Figure 3 (a) to 3(d) shows the installation process in actual engineering.
Fig. 2: LWAC facade (a) (b) (c) (d) Fig. 3: Facade Installation Process (a) Lifting by tower crane; (b) Accurately positioning after falling; (c) Temporary anchoring; (d) Precise positioning Conclusions Based on the above introduction and analysis, it can be known that 1) the mechanical properties and durability of structural LWAC can completely meet the engineering requirements; 2) as the research deepens, structural LWAC has been gradually accepted by construction industry in Hong Kong; 3) engineering practice and analysis prove that, although the price of LWAC is higher than that of ordinary concrete, application of LWAC in large quantity can effectively reduce foundation cost of a building and thus reducing the total pricing of building engineering.

Intrinsically safe in the tunnel construction under complex geological conditions Hui Liu1,a, Zhen Xie2,b  1Changsha University of Science and Technology Department of Civil and Architecture, China 2Changsha University of Science and Technology Department of Civil and Architecture, China alh1101@126.com, b155081176@qq.com Keywords:  intrinsic safety; unfavorable geology; risk assessment; monitoring measurement; geological forecast Abstract.
Combined with the tunnel engineering live telecast, for the complex geological conditions and the difficult safety control of the tunnel engineering, and through the essential safety of tunnel construction analysis, the tunnel project risk will be control effectively.
Engineering background and geological condition Engineering situation.
Engineering geology and hydrogeology.
The application of tunnel engineering geological risk assessment of this tunnel can make a comprehensive, systematic analysis for the geological hazards facing the tunnel engineering construction, and to get a macro understanding of the engineering geological conditions, structural conditions when the Tunnel through stratum.
