Structural Engineering: Design for Structures and Construction

While you are doing any construction work, you have to use high quality material for your safety purpose.

When we are doing construction of any building, it is not a simple task. You have to be very careful about load

capacity, designing of columns, beams, floors, roofs etc. So, you have to choose expert structural designing

engineer for that, because only an expert civil engineer can do a right planning and apply a good strategy for

construction.

 Structural engineering is a branch of civil engineering and its applications are extremely diverse Structural

 engineers do design of things to be built and then helping to build them: buildings, bridges, tunnels, towers.

But a structural engineer might also be involved in the demolition or dismantling of a structure, either

permanently or in order to repair it. Structural engineers also inspect buildings, both during and after

construction and oversee the use of the concrete, steel and timber of which they are made. They must also

be aware of both obvious and unobvious uses for the structures and how these uses affect its design.

Structural engineers analyze, design, plan and research structural components and structural systems.

Structural engineer can decide which construction technique should be used to provide a most favorable

design that is easy to implement and cost-effective. A good structural design engineer can save your money,

time and efforts.

Typical structures designed by a structural engineer include buildings, towers, and bridges. Other structures

such as oil rigs, space satellites, aircraft and ships may also be designed by a structural engineer. In the

construction industry, they work closely with architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical

engineers, quantity surveyors, and construction managers.

Each construction project requires a structural engineer to employ different research. Factors such as wind

speed, snow loads and occupancy loads must be considered along with the plans detailed in the

architectural drawings.
