The use of recycled materials is nowadays greatly promoted and exploited in many industries, including construction and civil engineering.
The steel wires from old automobile tires are a perfect example – they can be used as dispersed reinforcement for subsoil stabilization in railway engineering.
For instance the railway construction is one of the branches in civil engineering with a huge potential for the exploitation of the recycled materials or waste, and the current research is seeking for the new ways of recycling and maximization of its efficiency [1,2].

However all particleboards could be recommended for use as sealing particleboards in the segment of civil construction.
Analyzing the results obtained it can be observed that the particleboards can be used as internal panels in civil construction.
All particleboards presented adequate appearance and texture to be use in civil construction.

Exploration and Practice on Graduation Design (Thesis) of Mine Geotechnical Engineering Ren Lianwei1, a, Guo Jiaqi2,b 1School of Civil Engineering, Henan Polytechnic University, Jiaozuo, 454000, China 2 School of Civil Engineering, Henan Polytechnic University, Jiaozuo, 454000, China arenhpu@163.com, bgjq519@163.com Keywords: graduation design; exploration; engineering practice; mine geotechnical engineering Abstract.
Graduates of engineering professional practice is generally located in the eighth semester, knowledge is taken into practice and accept the test of practice.
The graduation project is the most important large-scale and integrated engineering professional practice of teaching that the students are able to apply the knowledge of theoretical knowledge (discrete) learned in school to the practice.
During students practicing in the internship, the scene instructor not only strictly manage, but also equip with teachers to manage and exercise on-site, which is to improve the business operations of the teachers in engineering design capability, both to strengthen the teaching guide for students during the internship period, improve teachers on-site problem-solving skills enable them to understand a set of engineering design businesses operation.
Exploration and practice for improving graduation design quality for application-oriented civil engineering major.

HPFL strip strengthening method for Masonry structure Shou-ping Shang1, a,Rong Shen2,b 1College of Civil Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha,410082,China 2College of Civil Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha,410082,China asps@hnu.cn, bshenrong-17@163.com Keywords: HPFL, Strip reinforcement, Masonry structure, Seismic strengthening Abstract.
Due to the various advantages, e.g. low cost, simple construction and high reliability, the HPFL strip reinforcement technique has been widely used in the field of civil engineering.
Moreover, based on the real engineering structures, the specific design and construction method were presented in this paper.
Masonry structure seismic tests reinforced by HPFL The engineering situation.
It is simple, inexpensive and effective and would be used for antiseismic civil buildings of masonry structures successfully.

Engineering geologists complete engineering geological prediction and evaluation by extensive application system thinking.
The engineering geological problems are resolved by not only analysis the engineering, geology, but also take into account environmental factors.
Conclusions Engineering geology is essential curriculum for civil engineering.
In short, these are to lay a solid foundation in geology for students becoming senior civil engineer with innovationnal ability.

From a long time, the lightning protection is always an important question in the electrical construction engineering design and construction, which scientists in the countries all over the world must consider in.
This paper analyses the thunder and lightning causes of a civil aviation airport, according to the average annual lightning days we calculate the lightning activity intensity in some region, on this foundation, we establish the lightning threat model of the civil automatic charging station, and provide the theory basis for the lightning protection design and the analysis of the lightning threat model of the automatic charging station.
The average annual lightning days of a civil airport as shown in figure 1.
So, the first system of the civil aviation automation of charging station is the biggest transient interference sources, the different progress of the first system of any form which is occurred in transient interference is introduced into secondary system by the coupling way to form the transient interference.
The lightning interference model of a aviation airport automation charging station Conclusion With the unceasing enhancement of the information degree in the civil aviation airport station equipment, the extent of the threat by lightning is more and more big.
