  7. Structural engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering

    Structural engineering theory is based upon applied physical laws and empirical knowledge of the structural performance of different materials and geometries. Structural engineering design uses a number of relatively simple structural concepts to build complex structural systems. Structural engineers are responsible for making creative and ...

  9. Settlement (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settlement_(structural)

    Timber-frame building showing considerable, but tolerable, settlement. Settlement is the downward movement or the sinking of a structure's foundation.It is mostly caused by changes in the underlying soil, such as drying and shrinking, wetting and softening, or compression due to the soil being poorly compacted when construction started.
