Concrete deformation measured under a certain condition in the experiment are very different from those in practical engineering structures, therefore, its necessary to monitor concrete properties in structures. In the paper, by real-time continuous monitoring of reinforcement concrete slab prepared with expansive agent, time-dependent temperature variations and strain variations are obtained and analyzed, and indoor test of the mechanical properties and deformation of field sampling from the slab are presented, so that this completes a transition from the specimen in experiment to the structure in engineering. The result shows that: there was no early-age crack in the four month after casting; the temperature had a certain increase due to heat generation of cement, which can lead to shrinkage deformation in cooling period; the temperature fluctuate with ambient temperature and there are obvious peak temperature rise about 15°C; There was a certain expansion at heating period, which can be considered as compensating shrinkage caused at late age in a certain extent so that minimum strain value is just about-120με which are not beyond the ultimate tensile strain. In addition, the measured experimental data can provide helpful reference for early crack control and durability of concrete structure, and they can also be use to verify and improve the accuracy of the numerical results for slab, which is available in the future for basis to similar projects and research.

Cracking of basement structure are common problems in civil building, so it’s most import and difficult to inhibiting cracking of building structures. In this paper, real-time continuous monitoring data of strain and temperature were obtained by embedding sensors in practical engineering, including slab and sidewall of reinforcement concrete, while ambient conditions were monitored to assess their effects. The cracking mechanism of such kind of structure was analyzed based on the investigation and monitoring data. The results show that sidewall is easier to crack than slab for basement structures of civil building, therefore, sidewall cracking of basement structure is the most difficult and key point to inhibit cracking. The measures adopted in this project can effectively reduce crack risk of structure. At the same time, the measured data can provide useful reference to control crack for similar projects and research, and they can also be used to verify the numerical results.

The critical need to identify children with hearing loss and provide treatment at the earliest possible age has become increasingly apparent in recent years (Northern & Downs, 1978). Reduction of the auditory signal during the critical language-learning period can severely limit the child's potential for developing a complete, effective communication system. Identification and treatment of children having handicapping conditions at an early age has gained impetus through the Handicapped Children's Early Education Program (HCEEP) projects funded by the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped (BEH).
