An effective in-situ monitoring method for MPCP is urgently needed in civil engineering field.
By this method, civil engineer can succeed in measuring real MPCP precisely within 20 minutes before initial setting time of concrete by monitoring concrete samples collecting in construction site randomly.
This method suits in-situ concrete quality control and ensures quality of concrete structures to avoid the occurrence of engineering accidents.

The Effect of Gust on Blended-Wing-Body Civil Aircraft Chenfang Cai 1, Jianghao Wu 2, a and Bin Liang 1 1 China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics, Beijing, PR China 2 School of Transportation Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, PR China a buaawjh@buaa.edu.cn Keywords: blended-wing-body; gust; computational fluid dynamics; aerodynamics; dynamic response Abstract.
In this paper, aerodynamic properties of Blended Wing Body (BWB) civil aircraft are studied by two models: one calls complete model that is computed by numerical simulation coupling equations of motion with the Navier-Stokes equations, and the other doesn’t consider the equations of motion (without dynamic response).
As a civil aircraft, the economy is not as important as the safety, according to FAR25.341 [6], when cruising, the gust load should be count to ensure the safety of the aircraft and sometimes the economy makes a concession for safety when designing an aircraft.
Model and method The BWB model used in this paper is a 250 passengers BWB civil aircraft [11], the definition of frames sees Fig.1, let (x’, y, z’) be the body fixed reference frame with the original fixed in the center of gravity, and (x, y, z ) be the air reference frame.

Building engineering in China is divided into civil building and industry building.
Civil building engineering includes residential building and public building.
Energy consumption of civil buildings has occupied a position of 20~30% in total installed capacity, and the ratio of public buildings has reached 50% in energy consumption of civil buildings.
Thus it can be seen that studying on the potentialities and measures of energy conservation is of important realistic significance to public building engineering.
Public building denotes schools, offices, shops, hotels, culture and sports facilities, hubs of communications and other nonresidential civil buildings.
