Adverse geological conditions in many areas, such as in karst limestone areas, although the distribution of underground caverns body is small but there is no law at all[1], the use of conventional exploration methods, even if we put a lot of time and manpower and resources, cannot satisfactory detection results; Another example of the Tibetan Plateau DC transmission line project, the project is located in permafrost regions of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau，the segment thick layer of ground ice, high ice content permafrost and adverse developmental phenomenon, permafrost engineering complex geological conditions along the Qinghai-Tibet railway construction requires detailed permafrost, and take the traditional exploration methods are difficult to obtain accurate and detailed geological data.
In the face of this trend, we need a new survey method, and radar surveying techniques and traditional survey methods compared with the light, fast, economical, surveying a wide range of high precision, in the field of civil engineering survey has should be a great prospect [4].
Compared with the existing survey techniques GPR survey with a lightweight, fast, economical, surveying a wide range of high precision, in the civil investigation work has a great range of applications.

Probabilistic Characteristics of the Ductility Indices of Compression-Bending Reinforced Concrete Columns Zhongquan Zou 1, 2, a, Teng Jun1,b 1Shenzhen Graduate School, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, 518055 2College of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha, Hunan, China, 410004 azouzhq72@126.com, btengj@hit.edu.cn Keywords: Performance index, limit state, damage state; Performance-Based Seismic Design Abstract: The probabilistic characteristics of the seismic performance indices for the compression-bending reinforced concrete columns were studied, which is important for the Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) and seismic performance evaluation of civil engineering structures.
Hereby the probabilistic distribution characteristics of the performance indices for each performance level were obtained, and the regression formula as well as its probability distribution model for the performance index of each performance level was proposed, which can be used in the probabilistic analysis of seismic performance of civil engineering structures.
Introduction Since the Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) method was proposed, it has been widely researched and applied in practical engineering projects.
The obtained results and conclusions can be used in the probabilistic analysis of seismic performance of civil engineering structures.

In the present work a granite waste from a diamond wire sawing was added into conventional mixture of cement, gravel and sand to fabricate concrete used in civil construction.
Among the possible destination for civil construction wastes stands the addition to other construction materials such as clayey ceramics and concretes.

Engineering System Breakdown The engineering system breakdown theory.
Through engineering system analysis based on the engineering system breakdown, we can make the engineering composition clear so as to better grasp the whole engineering, make it convenient for the engineering managers to observe and control the whole engineering implementation and operation process, and ensure that the engineering management work content and program results are systematic and complete.
The engineering system breakdown being the basis of the function management of the engineering.The engineering system breakdown applies to the whole process of engineering management.

The results obviously showed that, comparing with true nonlinear method, the Equivalent Linear Method underestimated in the case in natural period range of common civil engineering structures.
The case study shows obviously that the equivalent linear method underestimates not only the seismic response value but also response duration in natural period range of common civil engineering structure, and the true nonlinear method adopted in this study is more fitful for the cases under strong motion.
Obviously, in period range from 0.06 seconds to 0.5 seconds, the spectrum value from equivalent linear method is smaller than from direct nonlinear method, and lots of civil engineering structures’ natural period is within the range, underestimating of the spectrum value in the period range is dangerous under strong motion.
(2) In this case, the seismic response value is underestimated by equivalent linear method in natural period range of common civil engineering structures, it must be paid enough attention.
