The Importance of Structural
Engineering
-Structural engineering, a part of civil engineering, has emerged as a
critical part of the construction process.
-The following points demonstrate the importance of structural
engineering for building structures and foundations.
1)Structural Analysis
Structural engineers working as sub–consultant to architectures help
delineate internal and external factors, such as load, wind velocity,
intersections, nodes, components, and landscape on the structure
steel system, utility, and capabilities.

6. 12/11/15
2)Safety Assessment
Structural engineers check internal and external forces, including fracture,
materials used, earthquake, vibration, creep, structure fatigue, temperature,
wind, and dynamics, which have bearing on the structure.
3)Estimation
Structural engineering helps outline behavior of individual structural
members and the most suitable geometries and material requirements for
them.

IMPORTANCE OF STRUCTURAL DRAWINGSIMPORTANCE OF STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
-To achieve the geometric form of the design.
-To communicate ideas between designers and
manufacturing personnel.
-To act as an analysing tool.
-To stimulate the design.
-To support large number of perspective
references.

11. STAGES OF DRAWINGS
1. Structural engineering read the drawings of the building.
2. Then they decides what materials to use.
3. After that they calculated the loads of buildings.
4. Then they choose the types of elements they use.
5. Structural engineer analyze the structures.
6. Lastly, they proceed to the construction.

12. BEFORE CONSTRUCTION
 Prepare the information of construction for tendering.
 Produce the drawings of construction and details.

13. DURING CONSTRUCTION
 Structural engineers are responsible for
designing the structure and foundations that
support the various loads on a building,
including people, furniture, fittings, vehicles and
machinery.
 Structural engineers also ensure that the building
will withstand all the elements.

14. AFTER CONSTRUCTION
 Load test is required to prevent the buildings from collapsing.

15. TYPES OF DRAWINGS BY STRUCTURAL
ENGINEERS
1) Structural Drawings
2) Reinforcement Drawings
3) Standard Details
4) Record Drawings

16. 1) STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
 Structural Drawings are used to progress the
Architect's concept by specifying the shape and
position of all parts of the structure - thus
enabling the construction of that structure on site
.Structure Drawings are also used for the
preparation of the reinforcement drawings .

17. 2) REINFORCEMENT DRAWINGS
 Reinforcement Drawings ,fully describe and
locate all reinforcement in relation to the
finished surface of the concrete and to any
holes or fixing .They are primarily for the use of
the steel fixers and it is preferable that they are
kept separate from the general arrangement
drawing .

18. 12/11/15
3) STANDARD DETAIL
 Project management term for a drawing or
illustration that is accurate and comprehensive
enough to be used in different projects with little
or no change.

19. 4) RECORD DRAWINGS
 Revised set of drawing submitted by a contractor upon
completion of a project or a particular job. They reflect
all changes made in the specifications and working
drawings during the construction process, and show the
exact dimensions, geometry, and location of all
elements of the work completed under the contract.
Also called as-built drawings or just as-builts.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
 1) Analyze various factors concerning a
construction job.

2) Plan the construction project that will be taking place in
conjunction with the
results they found due to their analysis of the proposed project.
