Structural Engineering

Structure Engineering is the most major field in Civil Engineering. In this field engineers design structures, analyze their stability by the use of softwares or manual calculations and then construct them. In the previous five decades structural engineering has evolved to be an interesting and important field, It includes the study of dynamics of a structure, its load capacity, design and economy. Due to an increase in the demand of earthquake-proof buildings, the importance of structural engineers has also come to light.

Structural engineering is a field of engineering, more appropriately, civil engineering; It deals with the analysis and design of structures. Structural engineering is the design of structural support systems for buildings, bridges, earthworks, and industrial structures. This branch of engineering focuses on supporting a load safely, and relies on mathematical and Physical concepts for the design of the supporting structures. Structural engineers can design machines, cranes, vehicles and even other non building structures.

Structural engineering is a field of varied and complex tasks. Structural engineers combine simple and basic structural elements to build up complex structural systems. but the main objective is always safety, and to minimize the risk of collapse. Though aesthetics can also be a priority in some cases. Many of the designs for concrete buildings today are specifically meant to be earthquake and hurricane-resistant. There are also other provisions that are made for especially important rural structures, such as design details that help to prevent against fires or bombs. This way the structure of the building will not simply fall apart if something unexpected happens. Months of consideration goes into the designs of these buildings. The efficient use of funds and materials to achieve these structural goals is also a major concern.
