Non-destructive testing (NDT) is seeing increasingly frequent use in civil engineering thanks to the fact that the tests are repeatable and do not cause serious damage to the material.
In civil engineering, investors and designers constantly require better properties of building materials, especially those properties that guarantee the material’s quality.
Non-destructive methods for testing steel fiber reinforced concrete Some NDT methods for SFRC testing are already available in civil engineering.
Preliminary test results presented in scientific literature have proven a sufficient level of measurement reliability despite the fact this method is based on electromagnetic induction, this device is fairly popular in the civil engineering practice.

Note that civil engineering structures are usually made of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) based concrete but today, the cement industry is responsible for emitting between 6% and 7% of all the CO2 emission into the atmosphere.
Introduction The vast applications of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete in civil engineering and the growing demand of OPC in the future will create some environmental issues including the availability of the raw material, CO2 emissions and the need for a large input of energy during the manufacture of OPC.
Therefore, it is essential to seek new technologies and alternative binders to provide environmental friendly materials and achieve sustainable development in civil engineering production.

Introduction Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite materials have been heavily researched for use in civil engineering industry in many forms, e.g., FRP laminates for structural strengthening, FRP tendons for post-tensioned structures, and FRP reinforcing bars for RC structures.
In this regard, Canadian scientists and engineers have been pioneering in developing alternatives to steel reinforcement.
As none of GFRP RC projects have served over a long period of time, acceptance of GFRP bar to civil engineering industry is still very limited.

The debonding behavior at the interface between fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) sheet and concrete is a key problem for the application of FRP plate, which has been widely applied in the civil engineering for rehabilitation and retrofitting of conventional structures.
Introduction Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP ) are being considered for use in the field of civil infrastructure as strengthening and rehabilitation materials because of the characteristics of high strength, high stiffness, light-weight, excellent corrosion resistance, ease and speed of installation, etc.
The research on strengthening structure technology is concurrent with engineering application.

This paper deals with the development of plastic zones, related to welding stresses and their effects on the member’s resistance from a Civil-engineering perspective.
This fact changes the local effect of the weld into a global stability problem which the civil engineer must take into account when designing the welding process.
