Much of structural control research and applications in civil engineering have been concerned with structures equipped with passive, hybrid, or active control devices in order to enhance structural performance under extraordinary loads.
Introduction In recent years, several approaches have been proposed for integrated design of structure/control systems in aerospace and civil engineering structures.
For civil engineering structures, for example, a variational approach has produced good results [1-2].
In this section, the idea of redesign is incorporated into the integrated design of civil engineering structural/control systems.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the suitability of reusing waste (wood ash) resulting from the combustion process at wood product industries for manufacturing cement based materials used in civil engineering.
An alternative approach for reducing the environmental impact caused by the generation of this by-product, i.e., wood ash, would be its use in products for civil engineering [4], an area which requires a high amount of energy and non-renewable raw materials.
However, pozzolanic features may be observed, which explains the use of solid mineral waste in civil engineering [6].
An analysis of wood ash particle size distribution was undertaken in accordance with specific parameters set for grain size classification of sand for civil engineering.

According to estimates a real engineering, energy-saving design of residential buildings increases construction cost by about 175 yuan (RMB) /m2.
Building energy-saving construction techniques and technology have significant influence on the whole civil engineering cost, construction period, construction safety, engineering quality and other aspects, so studying the energy-saving technology has significant economic benefits.

These non-engineered structures are typically built with very little, or no technical engineering input, and are often the product of varied building traditions and cultures.
Most of timber trusses for non–engineered building were built without any engineering input consideration which is depended only on labor’s experience and skill.

Numerical simulations recently conducted by the authors have verified that the smart passive system could be effective to reduce the structural responses in the cases of civil engineering structures such as buildings and bridges.
MR damper-based smart damping systems are mainly applied to reduce the excessive vibration of large-scale structures such as high-rise buildings and long-span bridges in the field of civil engineering [1-3].
Experimental Test of Large-scale EMI System The experimental test of the large-scale EMI system is carried out to verify its feasibility to real-scale civil engineering structures by using a shaking table system.
Therefore, the large-scale smart passive system could be considered as one promising control devices for civil engineering applications.
However, more detailed experimental tests should be carried out to more clearly verify the applicability to full-scale civil engineering structures and are now on progress.

The soil mechanic course acts as a professional basic course of civil engineering.
Introduction The soil mechanics is a professional basic course of civil engineering water, hydraulic engineering and so on, which plays a transitional role between the basal courses and the specialized courses.
The design, construction and use of any civil engineering are related with instruction of soil mechanics theory.
Therefore if the civil engineering specialty and other relevant professional students want to learn their specialized courses well, the soil mechanics is a must mastered important professional basic course.
