scope of civil engineering
Civil engineering is a collective term for the science and technology used to construct various types of engineering facilities. It refers to the object of engineering construction, that is, various types of engineering facilities built in the ground, above ground, and water, etc., as well as the materials, equipment, and surveying, design, construction, management, monitoring, and maintenance technologies used.
Subject Connotation
Civil engineering is one of the earliest established engineering disciplines, and its disciplines are rich in content, including basic disciplines and theories, engineering materials, engineering analysis, and design, engineering construction, engineering economics and management, and information technology applications. For the safety and application of various structures in infrastructure construction, such as housing construction, bridges, tunnels, and underground engineering, roads, railways, ports, municipal and special engineering, heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, etc.
The theoretical system of the civil engineering discipline mainly includes civil engineering materials science, geotechnical engineering, principles, and design of engineering structures (structural engineering, bridge, and tunnel engineering), disaster prevention and mitigation and protection of engineering structures, water supply, and drainage and waste treatment, Artificial environment, and energy engineering, civil engineering construction and management, etc. The knowledge base supporting the subject of civil engineering and its theory mainly includes the following contents, which are focused on different research subjects: modern mathematics (advanced mathematics, numerical analysis, probability theory, mathematical statistics, mathematical equations, optimization theory, etc.) ), Physics, chemistry (hydrochemistry, chemistry and reaction kinetics, etc.), biology, engineering materials science, mechanics (theoretical mechanics, material mechanics, structural mechanics, elastoplastic mechanics, structural dynamics, fluid mechanics, fracture mechanics, etc.) ), Computational mechanics, soil mechanics, and rock mechanics, advanced heat transfer, advanced thermodynamics, engineering geology, environmental geology, basic engineering, seismic engineering, protective engineering, structural reliability theory, structural design principles and methods, Civil engineering test and inspection technology, civil engineering construction, economics, management, etc.
Civil engineering disciplines generally adopt statistical induction and integrated research methods based on theoretical analysis, experimental research (model tests, field surveys, and field measurements) and numerical calculations.
Scope of discipline
1. Geotechnical engineering
is to study the characteristics of rock and soil engineering, evaluate the possibility of natural disasters on the site, design, construction, and monitoring and construction) building foundations, slopes, retaining structures, dams, tunnels, docks, landfills and other geotechnical works The discipline of structures. The scope of geotechnical engineering research includes theoretical and numerical simulations, geotechnical constitutive relationships, laboratory tests, field monitoring, and design and construction of geotechnical structures. Almost all civil engineering structures are built on or in geotechnical or geotechnical bodies. Geotechnical engineering disciplines play an important role in civil engineering construction.
