Structural Engineering

Structural engineering is the science of designing and analyzing the construction and stability of buildings, bridges, towers, and other man-made structures. Structural engineers ensure that the structures are designed and built to withstand forces such as wind, gravity, earthquakes, and other external forces. They use a combination of engineering theory and real-world, practical experience to design, analyze, and ensure the safety of a structure. Their work is important not only to ensure the safety and stability of a structure, but also to ensure the economic, environmental, and aesthetic integrity of the structure. Structural engineering has applications in the fields of architecture, construction, transportation, and urban planning.
