Structural Engineering Concepts

Front

Primary focus of structural engineers

Back

Design, analysis, and construction of structures that support or resist loads.

Front

Definition of load analysis

Back

Analyzing the loads and forces that structures must endure, including gravity, wind, earthquakes, and other environmental factors.

Front

Definition of material testing

Back

Conducting tests on materials to verify their strength, durability, and other characteristics.

Front

Safety standards in structural engineering

Back

Designing structures that can withstand extreme conditions and prevent failures.

Front

Purpose of site visits by structural engineers

Back

To monitor progress and ensure construction is carried out according to design specifications.

Front

Retrofitting in structural engineering

Back

Strengthening existing structures to improve their performance and safety.

Front

Use of mathematical models by structural engineers

Back

To predict how structures will behave under different conditions.

Front

Definition of Elevation Drawings

Back

Show the vertical view of a structure, illustrating the height and external appearance of the building.

Front

Role of Structural Engineers

Back

Use various types of graphics and drawings to communicate their designs and plans effectively.

Front

Schematic drawings are used to plan and coordinate installations.

Back

They are used within a building or infrastructure project.
