Features: Civil engineering structural testing is a specialized technical course in the civil engineering major. It is directly related to courses such as Mechanics of Materials, Structural Mechanics, Concrete Structures, Masonry Structures, Steel Structures, Foundation and Substructure, and Bridge Structures, and involves content from physics, mechanical and electronic measurement technology, and mathematical-statistical analysis. Therefore, mastering this course requires not only knowledge in the major but also a broad range of technical expertise. Through the study of this course, students will gain foundational knowledge and basic skills in civil engineering structural testing, master the methods of planning and design, structural testing, engineering inspection, and certification of general engineering structures, as well as the ability to make correct analyses and conclusions based on test results, laying a solid foundation for future scientific research and engineering testing. The guiding principle of this textbook is to cover all disciplines within civil engineering and strengthen the design of engineering structural testing. In the writing process, quasi-static tests, quasi-dynamic tests, simulated seismic vibration table tests, artificial seismic simulation tests, and natural seismic tests are combined into engineering structural seismic tests. Based on the original Building Structure Testing, the textbook has added content such as the design of civil engineering structural testing, on-site load tests for bridges, on-site tests for highway subgrades and pavements, and on-site tests for piles. At the same time, it strives to reflect new theories and technologies in civil engineering structural testing both domestically and internationally, especially the automation and computerization of measurement instruments. This book is a specialized textbook written according to the teaching requirements of civil engineering. It includes content such as the design of engineering structural testing, structural model design, static tests of engineering structures, dynamic tests of engineering structures, seismic tests of engineering structures, non-destructive testing of engineering structures, on-site load tests for bridges, on-site tests for highway subgrades and pavements, on-site tests for piles, and statistical analysis of test data. This book can be used as a teaching material for civil engineering majors and related disciplines in higher education institutions, as well as a reference for postgraduate students in structural engineering and engineering technicians engaged in engineering structural testing and inspection.
