Based on the mechanism research of buildings corroded by the high salinity groundwater, this paper suggested that the corrosion problem can be solved by improving the anti-corrosion capability of the buildings in itself and reducing erosive medium. This paper put forward a repair technology which use the CM anti-Corrosion Composite Material to improving the anti-corrosion capability of the buildings in itself .The engineering practices demonstrated that this technology is worthy popularization for anti-corrosion of concrete buildings in irrigation areas.

For thousands of years, construction engineering has played a vital role in the advancement of human civilization. Humans have always aspired to build taller, grander, and more robust constructions either for civilian purpose or to defend cities and towns from invading armies. The architectural splendour of the pyramids in Egypt and the Great Wall of China are not only awe-inspiring examples for the engineering feats of the ancients but also remarkable for the robustness in evidence for having stood the test of time for over thousands of years since these were built. Modern civil construction engineering, too, requires optimum resource utilization, speed of execution, and adherence to best engineering practices. The rapid strides made in information technology makes it possible for architects and engineers to achieve those goals. This chapter discusses the role and impact that information technology has in the domain of civil engineering and construction sector.

Safety And Stability

In today's comprehensive development of the domestic economy, China's construction industry has reaped remarkable achievements. As a very important composition in the field of construction in China, the characteristics of concrete engineering itself determines that it is prone to encounter a variety of problems, the most frequent of which is various cracks. Cracks not only affect the aesthetics of the building, but also affect the durability and safety of the project. Considering these potential hazards, the causes of concrete cracks must be carefully analyzed to control and improve them in an effective way to ensure the safety and stability of concrete buildings.
