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(qū)提供結(jié)構(gòu)，是現(xiàn)代生活的許多方面的重要學(xué)科，包括住房、交通以及與工作、學(xué)習(xí)和休閑相關(guān)的主要區(qū)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(zhì)和重要性，還展示了其當(dāng)今的方方面面以及未來的挑戰(zhàn)。從在荒島上建立定居點(diǎn)的挑戰(zhàn)開始，列出了土木工程師需要解決的問題，他研究了社會(huì)和環(huán)境因素以及建造橋梁、隧道、房屋和娛樂區(qū)的科學(xué)、技術(shù)和工藝。他重點(diǎn)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(zhàn)，并研究了我們對(duì)建筑和環(huán)境日益增長的敏感性。

Civil Engineering創(chuàng)刊于1983年，由American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術(shù) - 工程：土木全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過審相對(duì)較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機(jī)率較高。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
