In the civil engineering construction, with the building load of building construction or adding storeys, foundation pit dewatering, embankment filling , over time, the pore water stress that is borne by pore water in the foundation decreases gradually, the effective stress that is borne by particle increases gradually, the foundation bearing capacity increases gradually, we use different methods to derive the variation law in the theoretical solution, and carry on the comparison, then get the same conclusion. By using theory to solve the frequently encountered problems during civil engineering construction, including the problems of building construction or adding storeys, foundation pit dewatering, embankment filling, it provides theory basis for both economical and safe civil engineering construction .

The main goal of this work is the analysis of the thermal and environmental benefits of 3D printing on building construction. Present literature reports a considerable number of benefits for 3D printing, namely reduction of material use, lower operational costs and time saving. Authors also mention design freedom, higher efficiency, productivity and quality. This work presents the most important advances in 3D printing in civil engineering, specifically, a critical review of the thermal and environmental benefits of 3D printing on building construction. The limitations of construction 3D printing with focus on large-scale applications, technology costs, mix development and optimisation and thermal behaviour will be, also, defined.

Corporate Memory

This paper describes a prototype called CoMem (Corporate Memory) that supports the finding and understanding of useful items in large hierarchical repositories. The particular domain is civil engineering design, and the prototype is designed specifically to support design reuse in building construction projects. However, the underlying visualization and interaction principals behind CoMem are generalizable to the ubiquitous task of finding and understanding useful information in large hierarchical repositories. To support the finding, the entire hierarchy is visualized using a squarified treemap. Once an item from the treemap is selected, CoMem supports the understanding of that item by identifying related items in the hierarchy and visualizing the selected item in the context of these related items in a node-link diagram. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of a usability evaluation of CoMem that supports the claim that finding and understanding improve the process of reuse, and that the described visualizations assist with finding and understanding.
