Journal Title：Civil Engineering

Civil engineering produces the structures of all human settlements worldwide and is a vital discipline for many aspects modern life, underlying housing, transport, and our major areas and buildings related to work, study, and leisure. In this Very Short Introduction, David Muir Wood demonstrates the nature and importance of civil engineering not only in the history of civilization and urbanization, but its range of facets today, and its challenges for the future. Beginning with the challenge of creating a settlement on a deserted island, which sets out the problems that civil engineers need to solve, he looks at the social and environmental considerations as well as the science, technology, and craft of building bridges, tunnels, houses, and areas of recreation. He highlights the lives of some major civil engineers, including Brunel and Bazalgette, considers the challenges of managing water and energy, and looks at our increasing sensitivity to building and the environment.

土木工程為全世界所有人類居住區提供結構，是現代生活的許多方面的重要學科，包括住房、交通以及與工作、學習和休閑相關的主要區域和建筑。在這篇非常簡短的介紹中，David Muir Wood 不僅展示了土木工程在文明和城市化歷史中的性質和重要性，還展示了其當今的方方面面以及未來的挑戰。從在荒島上建立定居點的挑戰開始，列出了土木工程師需要解決的問題，他研究了社會和環境因素以及建造橋梁、隧道、房屋和娛樂區的科學、技術和工藝。他重點介紹了一些主要土木工程師的生活，包括 Brunel 和 Bazalgette，考慮了管理水和能源的挑戰，并研究了我們對建筑和環境日益增長的敏感性。
