EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) materials have the features of super light, water resistance, anti-ageing, corrosion resistance and well supporting itself .They are now widely used in civil engineering because of their unique features for its unique characteristics.
This paper introduces the properties of EPS and the application of EPS in the road and bridge engineering.
Along with the increasing deteriorating of the environmental problems, to accelerate the research and application of the engineering technology of EPS materials would acquire abundant economic benefits in the engineering constructions.

Geosynthetics is developing rapidly in civil engineering, water project, transportation engineering and other fields in recent years due to their advantages of lightweight, good continuity, easy construction, excellent tensile, anti-ripping strength and good resistance to chemicals and microorganism.
At present, the geosynthetics has been widely used in the water, highway, railway, industrial and civil buildings, ports, mining, military and other engineering fields. [1] Geosynthetics’ development is closely related to the development of synthetic polymers, especially geotextiles.
The application of geosynthetics The application of geosynthetics is very extensive, it has a good performance in geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, hydraulic engineering and railway and highway traffic engineering, and so on.
The application of geosynthetics in subgrade engineering[J].

The effect of microbes on geotechnical engineering.

Abstract : Low cost composite materials are widely used in civil and structural engineering applications.
The composite research centre of the University of Southern Queensland developed projects for creating new materials suitable for civil and structural engineering applications.
This means that most civil engineering structures manufactured from thermosetting resin based composites are strain- rather than strength-limited.
These approaches are always cost-prohibitive for civil engineering composites.
This results in a gel time and cost compatible with civil engineering applications.
