What is structural engineering?

Structural engineering is the engineering field that deals with the strength and structural integrity of structures or buildings. It is one of the critical specializations of civil engineering responsible for structures’ safe and stable design.

Structural engineers analyze and design structures that counteract or reinforce loads to facilitate construction and maintenance. The safe development of proposed structures and the maintenance of the existing ones isn’t possible without a deep understanding of structural engineering. Structural engineers focus on the material elements and load-bearing design for construction projects of all forms and sizes high-rises, bridges, culverts, bridges, and parking garages. Strength of materials is an important subject in structural engineering course.

Some common types of projects that fall under structural analysis include:

• Designing bridges and rehabilitation
• Retaining walls and deep foundations
• Design and renovation of buildings
• Condition assessment of buildings and bridges

Structural design provides comprehensive floor live-load ratings and condition assessments for roofing assessments, existing buildings, and material recommendations, among other analyses.

Structural engineering as a part of civil engineering

Civil engineering is the broad engineering discipline dealing with human-made constructions in our world. That includes all roads, private and public buildings, airports, and water systems. It has vital and practical sub-disciplines such as water/wastewater engineering, construction engineering, traffic engineering, environmental engineering, and structural engineering.

All structural engineers are indeed civil engineers, but every civil engineer is not necessarily a structural engineer. Civil engineers work on various infrastructure projects and engineering assignments of varying scales.
