A structural engineer is responsible for designing the structural elements, or "bones", of a construction to ensure it is stable, durable and safe. They work with architects and other professionals in both the planning and construction phases. During planning, they calculate loads, choose appropriate structural systems, and investigate ground conditions. During construction, they supervise work, provide advice and conduct inspections. After construction, they ensure the structure was properly built and is safe. Structural engineers produce various types of drawings including structural, reinforcement, and record drawings to specify the shape and reinforcement of structural elements.

• Design and select material to build the “bones” of
a construction and make the construction stable ,
durable and safe.
• Analyze the bending , compression and tension
capacity of each structural.

• Used to progress the architect’s concept by specifying
the shape and position of all parts of the structure.
• Preparation of the reinforcement drawing.

10. REINFORCEMENT DDRRAAWWIINNGGSS
• Fully describe and locate all reinforcement in relation
to the finished surface of concrete and to holes or
fixings.

12. RREECCOORRDD DDRRAAWWIINNGGSS
• Modifications to be made to the original drawings to
cater for unforeseen difficulties that inevitably occur on
site.(Earthquake , wind , snow)
15. PPLLAANNNNIINNGG
