Improvement of accelerated weathering test through physicochemical analysis for polymeric materials in building construction Teng-Chun Yang1,a 1Department and Institute of Materials Science & Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei 106, Taiwan atcyang.04@gmail.com Keywords: Accelerated weathering, Polymeric material, Physicochemical analysis, Durability, Degradation Introduction In civil engineering, the long-term service life of buildings as environmental measures is one of important performances being comparable to structure and fire safety, and it is demanded to improve durability of materials in building construction.
As part of building materials, polymeric materials become widespread in civil engineering because of taking advantage of excellent property, such as lightweight, high corrosion resistance, and good formability.
Reliability is an engineering discipline that should be applied throughout all stages of development and maintenance of the product in its life service.
Unfortunately, only very few researchers in civil engineering have being researching on macroscopic size (color, mechanical property etc.) of polymeric materials but barely discussing these microscopic size (physicochemical production ).

Preface This book aims to inform the engineers and scientific researchers who work in civil and environmental engineering work about the last research results and developments in these two engineering fields.

It provides a new experiment method for research on response of low-pressure dynamic loading in geotechnical engineering.
Introduction OFS (OFS: optical fiber sensor) possesses advantages of small bulk, light weight and anti severe environment, they are widely used in civil engineering, especially to survey building masses health[1].
And all these types of sensing systems are applied to health inspecting of civil engineering [3,4].
The optical fiber sensing systems above are mainly used for static detection of strain, stress and temperature in civil engineering.
Conclusions To satisfy the detection requirement for low-pressure dynamic load in civil engineering, optical fiber sensing system was set up based on Michelson interference principle, and polyurethane package technique was adopted to enhance the sensitivity of OFS sensor.

Since the panels are made from up to 80% of glass, the possibility arises to use this secondary raw material in civil engineering [4, 5].
The use of secondary raw materials from PV and solar panels in the construction industry A significant benefit of secondary raw materials is a reduction in energy and material demands across all industries, including civil engineering.
