在可預(yù)見的未來中,結(jié)構(gòu)工程師的需求將一直很高。6. 結(jié)論土木工程是最古老的工程專業(yè)。我們要去鑒定以下中的一些型材。這個列表是不詳盡的,而且這些名目不是按照重要性與否的順序排列的。然后鑒定在近代結(jié)構(gòu)工程做出重大貢獻(xiàn)的領(lǐng)域。死于公元前1750年的漢莫拉比巴比倫王朝的第六代國王頒布了規(guī)范。這里面的一個原因就是我們不能預(yù)測后期荷載和與之相應(yīng)的材料行為。他們沒用任何的分析法則,但是用一些基本形式來建造建筑物。石頭是最早期的建筑物建造材料。這個階梯金字塔的上層結(jié)構(gòu)是用小的石灰?guī)r跟沙漠粘土制作的。需要指出的是用石頭泥或者其他可以利用的材料建造的在埃及金字塔之前的建筑物,假定是大概公元前3000年以前的建筑物,但是在這次討論中它們不被認(rèn)為是工程建筑物。發(fā)展分析技術(shù)來解決控制方程,整合理論與材料屬性(材料力學(xué))來給出專門的結(jié)構(gòu)形式,然后發(fā)展創(chuàng)新的建筑施工方法來給出一個現(xiàn)實(shí)的實(shí)用的符合美學(xué)觀點(diǎn)的結(jié)構(gòu)形式。動物(包括人類)所建造的建筑物,不需要更進(jìn)一步的討論。植物的葉子可以很有趣,甚至是讓人吃驚的,但是他們是易碎的結(jié)構(gòu)形式。創(chuàng)意/價值:這篇文章從古代到當(dāng)代為這個重要的行業(yè)提供了一個超前的視野。這些迫使人們改變設(shè)計理念的發(fā)展?fàn)顩r會在這里呈現(xiàn)出來,并且從幾個特殊的方面對結(jié)構(gòu)工程的目前狀況進(jìn)行討論。唐 山 學(xué) 院 外 文 資 料 翻 譯 Structural engineering in the newmillennium: opportunities andchallengesAbstractPurpose – Structural engineering as a part of civil engineering has over 5,000 years of distinguishedhistory, as documented in this paper. An attempt is made in this paper to define structural engineeringas it exists at present, then some historical structures are identified.Design/methodology/approach – The advances of structural engineering are discussed inchronological order, enpassing the development of the concept, analysis, the use of innovativeconstruction materials, and construction. The developments which necessitated the change of designphilosophies are presented, and the current status of structural engineering is discussed in terms ofseveral specific topics. Opportunities and challenges in the new millennium in structural engineeringare then presented in terms of education, service to society, and research.Findings – In the past, structural engineering always met the challenges it faced. It helped toimprove our quality of life, and its role in society is not expected to change in the near future.Originality/value – The paper has provided an overview of this important profession – fromancient history to the present day. Based on research over several decades it offers a prediction of thedirection in which this profession and the academic research that underpins it is likely to take in thefuture.Keywords Structural engineering, Civil engineering, HistoryPaper type Literature reviewIntroductionThe task of defining structural engineering is very plicated. At present it is a ma
