IntroductionStructural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering that involves the analysis and design of structures that are able to support or resist loads. Structural engineers use principles of mechanics, such as statics and dynamics, and materials science to determine the loads that a structure will be subjected to, and then design the structure to safely withstand those loads. The...
