A structural engineer designs and selects materials to build the framework of structures, making them stable, durable, and safe. They analyze how components will bend, compress, or stretch. Throughout a project, a structural engineer will consult with clients, investigate site conditions, calculate loads, decide on structural systems, supervise construction, and ensure safety upon completion. They produce drawings showing reinforcement details and make revisions to account for unexpected issues during construction. The goal is to develop the most suitable structural design and construction process.
4. BEFORECONSTRUCTIONBEFORECONSTRUCTION
• Discuss with client.
• Provides advice on building materials.
• Investigate the construct with architects and other
professions as partner.
• Consultants to architects or design-build contractors.
• Calculate the loads and decide to use what structural
systems.
• Working with geotechnical engineers to investigate
ground condition.
5. DURINGCONSTRUCTIONDURINGCONSTRUCTION
• Supervise structural work at sites.
• Provides advice on construction method.
• Conduct site inspection.
• Provides engineering solving in building structures.
• Provides another solution if client change their mind.
8. STRUCTURALDRAWINGSSTRUCTURALDRAWINGS
• Used to progress the architect’s concept by specifying
the shape and position of all parts of the structure.
• Preparation of the reinforcement drawing.
15. PLANNINGPLANNING
• Various requirement, factor affect the general
layout and dimensions of the structure
• Calculate the loads
• Type of structure that suitable for buildings
• Structural and constructional requirements
and limitations
16. DESIGNDESIGN
• Different solution in the planning stage
• The most suitable dimensions, proportion and
details of the structural elements
• Position of columns and beams
• Arrangement of connection structure
