In particular, the alloy Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni-1(V,C) (mass%), which has been developed at Empa shows very promising properties with regard to potential commercial applications in civil and mechanical engineering.
These studies confirmed the high potential and cost efficiency of these Fe-SMAs for advanced civil engineering applications.
Civil Engineering Applications The company re-fer AG (www.re-fer.eu) was founded in 2012 based on the developments at Empa with the aim of producing and selling the patented, iron-based SMAs for civil engineering applications.
In addition to the patented alloy, re-fer AG and Empa hold several patents for specific civil and mechanical engineering related applications using Fe-SMA bars and strips.

Study on Civil Engineering with the Comparison and Inspiration of Domestic and Foreign City Underground Space Development XiaoLi Dong 1, a , RuiHua Wang2,b, ZeXun Yuan 2,c 1 Beijing Jiaotong University，1 Beijing City University, China 2 Beijing City University, China adongxiaoli@bcu.edu.cn, bh51611090@163.com,cyuanzexun@bcu.edu.cn Keywords: development of city, development of city underground space, utilization of city underground space, home and abroad Abstract: With the development of city, city population, regional planning and city ecological environment are facing with more and more tremendous pressure, so the development and utilization of city underground space has become common concern.
In recent years, underground structures have been widely applied in the fields of city construction, transportation, defense engineering, water conservancy project etc.
In Western Europe, combination underground space with civil defense engineering is one of its characteristics.
The process and characteristics of the underground space development and utilization in China China's modern city underground space development stems from civil defense engineering, by the end of twentieth Century, civil defense engineering is still the subject to utilization of underground space.
Admittedly, the development of civil defense projects accumulated experience, technology and talent for comprehensive exploitation and utilization of city underground space.

Distributed system for monitoring of the large scale infrastructure structures based on analysis of changes of its static and dynamic properties Adam Gałęzia1,Szymon Gontarz1, Marcin Jasiński1, Jędrzej Mączak1,a,*, Stanisław Radkowski1, Jarosław Seńko1 1 Institute of Vehicles, Warsaw University of Technology, Narbutta St. 84, 02-524 Warsaw, Poland ajma@simr.pw.edu.pl, *corresponding author Keywords: diagnostic systems, magnetic methods, construction monitoring, civil engineering, structural health monitoring Abstract.
The complexity and diversity of civil engineering structures impose requirements on the monitoring systems, which are difficult to be satisfied.
Introduction Monitoring of civil engineering structures is an important issue due to a rapid development of the modern building techniques and growing fatigue wear.
In structural health monitoring of civil engineering structures various methods of technical state assessment could be used based on the comparative dynamic, tensometric (strain gauges), magnetic and optic fibres (FBG) measurements.
The truss that was a topic of the experiment was built out of general purpose low-carbon steel St3 (PN-EN 10025:2004) used typically in civil construction engineering.

For example, for many years the Civil Engineering Institute of the St.

Impact-echo Based Nondestructive Evaluation of Grout Condition in Post-tensioned Bridge Ducts Zhi feng Wanga, Xianyan Zhoub College of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, P.R.
The field of Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) is a very broad, interdisciplinary field that plays a critical role in civil engineering for controlling new structures (quality control) as well as for assessing the internal grout condition of prestressed pipes in post-tensioned concrete structures.
This paper focuses on the nondestructive evaluation of internal injection quality in post-tensioned bridge ducts, and the developments in civil engineering NDE in China are also introduced.
NDE methods, performed in a manner that does not affect the future usefulness, play a critical role in the Inspection, Assessment and Strengthening (I.A&S) of the civil infrastructures.
Conclusions The need in funding changed gradually from building new civil infrastructures to inspection, assessment and maintenance of the existing ones in China.
