In this paper, we sorted soft foundation treatment technology by quantifying based on evaluation technique of life cycle environmental load and choose cement mixing pile which life-cycle environmental load is small and spiral pump pressure CFG pile which carrying capacity is high to integrate. It not only improved soil compaction effects, but also solved the problems of other technologies in the foundation process, such as low carrying capacity, reduced diameter, broken pile, virtual pile and so on. Besides, it has reduced the cost of the project and the application prospects are broad.

Environmental consciousness has gained increasing interest in recent years, and product life cycle design that aims to maximize total value while minimizing environmental load and costs should be implemented. To achieve that, the processes of idea generation and decision-making for eco-business strategies, as well as the design of a target product and its life cycle options, should be systematically supported. This paper proposes a strategic decision-making method for eco-business planning so that a designer can easily find a set of eco-business ideas that effectively improve environmental and economic performance simultaneously. A decision-making procedure based on this method is also illustrated with a simplified example of a laptop computer business.

In the past, the selection of an energy resource for electricity generation was dominated by finding the least expensive power generating plant. Although such an approach is essential, there is growing concern about other aspects of power generation such as social, environmental and technological benefits and consequences of the energy source selection. The aims of this paper are first to introduce a life cycle assessment (LCA) scheme with the aid of the NETS (Numerical Eco-load Total Standardization) method that we have newly proposed. This method provides a numerical measure for evaluating the quantitative load of any industrial activity on the environment, and has been used to analyze the energy flow and the environmental loads of various power generation systems. A second goal is to develop a computer program to examine the applicability of technology options based on cost performance and environmental load reduction. A final goal of this work is to select the power system using life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC). As a result, environmental load and economical cost for various power generation systems are discussed from the LCA point of view for further ecological improvement.
