FAQs
What is Structural Engineering?
Structural engineers deal with the design, construction and maintenance of structures such as buildings, bridges and stadia.
The primary goal of structural engineering is to ensure that these structures are safe, stable and able to withstand the loads and forces they may be subjected to during their lifespan.
Structural engineers are responsible for determining the materials and structural elements needed to resist those forces.
They must consider factors such as the materials used, environmental conditions and the intended use of the structure.
