土木工程是中國普通高等學校本科專業。
Civil engineering is an undergraduate major in Chinese colleges and universities.
土木工程的目的是形成人類生產或生活所需要的、功能良好且舒適美觀的空間和通道。
The purpose of civil engineering is to form a comfortable and beautiful space and channel with good functions required by human production or life.
它既是物質方面的需要，也有象征精神方面的需求。
It is not only a material need,but also a spiritual need.
隨著社會的發展，工程結構越來越大型化、復雜化，超高層建築、特大型橋梁、巨型大壩、復雜的地鐵系統不斷湧現，滿足人們的生活需求，同時也演變為社會實力的象征。
With the development of society, engineering structures are becoming more and more large and complex.
Super high-rise buildings,especially large bridges, large dams and complex subway systems are emerging to meet people's living needs.
At the same time,they have evolved into a symbol of social strength.
土木工程需要解決的根本問題是工程的安全，使結構能夠抵抗各種自然或人為的作用力。
The fundamental problem to be solved in civil engineering is the safety of the project,so that the structure can resist various natural or man-made operation capabilities.
任何壹個工程結構都要承受自身重量，以及承受使用荷載和風力的作用，濕度變化也會對土木工程結構產生力作用。
Any engineering structure must bear its own weight and accept the action of service load and wind.
The change of humidity will also have a hard work on the civil engineering structure.
在地震區，土木工程結構還應考慮抵禦地震作用。
In the earthquake area,the civil engineering structure should also consider resisting earthquake.
此外，爆炸、振動等人為作用對土木工程的影響也不能忽略。
In addition,the impact of explosion and vibration on civil engineering can not be ignored.
