Introduction Generally speaking, nonlinearity is generic in real engineering structures and linear behaviour is an exception.
In civil engineering, many demountable structures are prone to substantial structural nonlinearity as a result of looseness of joints.

Interpretation of the Early Hydration Procedure of Standard Cement Materials by Electrodeless Resistivity Method Yutai Liu1, a, Feng Xing1, b and Biqin Dong1,c 1School of Civil Engineering, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Durability for Marine Civil Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, P.R.
Meanwhile, the hydration reaction of cement is a very complex one, both physically and chemically, remaining a certain impact on the contemporary scientific work.[1] For engineers, it is important to have comprehensive understanding and evaluation of the quality of cement in early stage in order to avoid losses. [2] However, due to the difficulty of ion migration of cement hydration procedure, it is impossible to reach the end of the reaction within a short time.

Study on slag powder concrete preparation In Baotou Area Bin Li a, Yang Wen b,Sufen Dong c School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology Baotou, 014010, P.R.China abtlibin@189.cn, bwenyangalbert@163.com, cdongsufen1009@163.com Key words: Slag Powder; Concrete; Economic Benefit Abstract: Using slag powder in concrete, not only can solve the piled slag powder problem in Baotou area, but also can save resources and energy and improve concrete performance, resulting in huge economic benefits.
Studies have shown that slag powder which is added to the concrete have volcano ash activity effects and powder filling effect, and can increase the density of concrete, can improve the durability of concrete including impermeability and antifreeze [1].But the materials’ research have a strong regional ,how to maximize the slag use and create economic benefits is the Baotou area engineering and technical personnel and steel mills technicians closely concern .In this paper, the slag powder dosage performance in C40 and C50 concrete and economic value are researched for Baotou civil engineering.
