Based on the background of the Ministry of Finance’s concern about the issue of goodwill impairment and the frequent outbreak of goodwill impairment risk, this paper analyzes the difference in the proportion of goodwill impairment during the valuation adjustment mechanism ( VAM ) period and after the VAM period, with a view to providing theoretical and data reference suggestions for the standard-setters and regulators on preventing goodwill impairment risk and improving the relevant regime of VAM, and also providing theoretical support and risk warning for stakeholders in M&A. Combining the normative research method and the empirical research method, this paper takes the merger and acquisition event completed by the A-share listed companies of civil engineering construction industry in 2014-2016 as the initial sample, and studies the difference in the proportion of goodwill impairment during the VAM period and after the VAM period. The conclusion of this paper is: In the merger and acquisition transaction with VAM, the proportion of goodwill impairment of listed companies after the VAM period are greater than that of the VAM period.

Mobile computing technology has an enormous potential in civil engineering, mainly in the field of construction management. This paper presents an approach by using mobile computing in a civil engineering construction project, exploring how information can be exchanged at a construction site, and how billing of quantities (BOQ), drawings and specifications are shared for the benefit of the project. One of the major obstacles in using information technology (IT) when applied to civil engineering is due to the dynamic changes in the construction activities and the diversity of construction methods as compared to other industries. This has proved to be a great disadvantage when trying to give construction sites adequate IT support. Computers require infrastructure, which can be transferred easily to the head office, but rarely to the construction site itself in a systematic way. Therefore, the impact of IT on the way the construction industry actually works has not been significantly utilized. This paper consists of two main parts. The first part defines the concept of mobile computing, describes some recent research, and stresses the potential for the construction industry. The second part is focuses on an approach, implementing mobile computing in a real construction site. 



Most civil engineering construction works, and the site investigations and planning decisions that precede them, are intimately concerned with the nature of the first few metres of the Earth's surface. The materials that constitute this zone were either deposited by the processes that took place in the Quarternary or have been significantly altered by them.This volume contains a collection of papers which examine in detail those processes, the properties of the materials that are produced by them and their implications for construction. The subject is considered from an international point of view with authors from 14 countries describing events in glacial, periglacial, temperate and tropical environments.The scene is set by P. G. Fookes whose keynote address describes from an engineer's perspective the events of the Quaternary and how they affected the surface of the Earth. Each environmental theme is introduced by a report on the papers by an eminent worker in that field and there are 'state of the art' reviews of the major themes by J. N. Hutchinson and G. E. Blight.This book is an important contribution to the engineering geological literature, especially relevant to today's international construction industry, combining clear overviews with detailed case studies which demonstrate the implications of Quaternary processes and materials in civil engineering operations.

Civil engineering occupies an unwavering position in the scientific and technological field. It not only has a deep tradition, but also has unlimited development potential in the future, and it covers numerous academic and application fields. With the advancement of science and technology, remote sensing technology is more and more widely used in people’s daily production and life. In civil engineering construction and research, remote sensing imagery also plays an important role as the basic data. Therefore, remote sensing technology has shown important support in land utilization, land construction planning, and coverage monitoring. According to the actual needs of civil engineering, this paper extracts targeted land information from satellite remote sensing images in a certain area, and analyzes the practical and reasonable needs of civil engineering construction.

Nowadays, my country’s economy is developing faster and faster, people’s living conditions are gradually improving, and people’s requirements for the quality of life are also improving. Housing is a place where people often come and go. The quality of housing is related to people’s daily life safety and also affects economic development. Therefore, the construction industry should pay attention to the improvement of the quality of housing and provide people with high-quality housing construction. For civil engineering, on the basis of ensuring the quality, the construction unit needs to fully consider the economic benefits, so that the construction unit can achieve quality and cost reduction. In order to ensure that the quality of civil engineering meets the standards proposed by the country, the construction unit needs to plan the details of the building in detail during the construction process and adopt standardized construction techniques. Therefore, this article will conduct an in-depth analysis on the innovation of civil engineering construction technology, so as to facilitate the reference of relevant construction units.
