1. STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Structural engineering is a field of
engineering dealing with the analysis and
design of structures that support or resist
loads. Structural engineering is usually
considered a specialty within civil
engineering, but it can also be studied in its
own right

2. Structural Engineer
Structural engineers analyze, design, plan, and
research structural components and structural
systems to achieve design goals and ensure the
safety and comfort of users or occupants. Their
work takes account mainly of safety, technical,
economic and environmental concerns, but they
may also consider aesthetic and social factors.

3. Structural engineering specialties for
buildings include:
• Earthquake engineering
• Façade engineering
• Fire engineering
• Roof engineering
• Tower engineering
• Wind engineering

•Dams
•Earthworks
•Foundations
•Offshore structures
•Pipelines
•Power stations
•Railways
•Retaining structures and walls

5. Structural elements
Any structure is essentially made up of only a
small number of different types of elements:
• Columns
• Beams
• Plates
• Arches
• Shells
• Catenaries
