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.

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.

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.

Research and Implementation of a Communication Method for Health Status Monitoring in Civil Engineering Li Ganga, Feng Shib 1,2School of Information Engineering, Chang’an University, Xi’an City, China agangli@chd.edu.cn bTsing1943@yahoo.com.cn Keywords: Remote monitoring; Health Check; Communication technology Abstract: A front end frequency measuring system with a CPLD and an embedded system as the core circuit is designed to achieve the automated connection and measurement of multiple sensors.
Data transmission from measuring nodes on the top of the shaft to the bottom is completed by wireless data transmission modules, data transmission from measuring nodes at the bottom of the shaft to relay nodes in the main tunnel is completed through a RS485 bus, and data transmission from relay nodes in the main tunnel to the office is completed through the GSM network, thus the remote health status monitoring of civil engineering projects is achieved.
In practical engineering, RS485-based communication is applied according to the condition from the bottom of the shaft to the tunnel.
System verification and application is done through field tests and engineering applications.
