摘要：Design is a goal-oriented planning activity for creating products,processes,and systems with desired functions through *** is a decision-making exploration:the design outcome may vary greatly depending on the designer’s knowledge and *** design is one type of design philosophy that takes an interdisciplinary and holistic *** civil engineering,structural design is such an activity for creating buildings and ***,structural design in many countries has emphasized a performance-based philosophy that simultaneously considers a structure’s safety,durability,serviceability,and ***,integrated design in civil engineering has become more popular,useful,and ***-oriented integrated design and construction of structures(MIDcS)combine materials engineering and structural engineering in the design stage:it fully utilizes the strengths of materials by selecting the most suitable structural forms and construction *** paper will explore real-world examples of MIDcS,including the realization of MIDcS in timber seismic-resistant structures,masonry arch structures,long-span steel bridges,prefabricated/on-site extruded light-weight steel structures,fiber-reinforced cementitious composites structures,and fiber-reinforced polymer bridge ***,advanced material design methods such as bioinspired design and structure construction technology of additive manufacturing are briefly reviewed and discussed to demonstrate how MIDcS can combine materials and structures.A unified strengthdurability design theory is also introduced,which is a human-centric,interdisciplinary,and holistic approach to the description and development of any civil infrastructure and includes all processes directly involved in the life cycle of the ***,this paper lays out future research directions for further development in the field.
