Most of these phrases are used for comparison. For example, "He is as tall as me." in Chinese would be 他比我一样的高。 Or "I am as fast as a horse." in Chinese would be "我很快得如匹马。 However, "as long as" and "as well as" are a bit different. "As long as" in Chinese means 只要. For example, "As long as you love me, I will always love you." 只要你爱我,我会总是爱你。 "As well as" would mean 'also' or 'in addition.' For example, "I can speak English as well as Chinese." 我会说英文还中文。 I hope my answer helped. I also hope my Chinese examples were useful and not confusing. :P
