Structural engineering

Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering in which structural engineers are trained to design the 'bones and muscles that create the form and shape of man-made structures.

Structural engineering is an important field that focuses on the design and development of safe and stable structures. This civil engineering specialty is ideal for those who have strong math, science, critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills.

Structural engineering — a specialty within the field of civil engineering — focuses on the framework of structures and on designing those structures to withstand the stresses and pressures of their environment and remain safe, stable, and secure throughout their use.

Structural engineers help create: record-breaking structures, beautiful structures, important structures, and sometimes just cool structures - anything from bridges, rollercoasters, and skyscrapers to hospitals, homes, and public artworks. They work as part of a team alongside architects, builders, and other engineers.

Structural Engineering is the branch that involves the analysis and design of mainly steel, concrete, or timber framed structures such as Tall Buildings, Bridges, Dams, Towers, Offshore Platforms, Stadiums, Retaining Walls, and foundations.
