2. Structural engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering

   Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering in which structural engineers are trained to design the 'bones and joints' that create the form and shape of human-made structures. Structural engineers also must understand and calculate the stability , strength, rigidity and earthquake-susceptibility of built structures for ...

3. Structural engineer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineer

   Structural engineers analyze, design, plan, and research structural components and structural systems to achieve design goals and ensure the safety and comfort of users or occupants. Their work takes account mainly of safety, technical, economic, and environmental concerns, but they may also consider aesthetic and social factors.

4. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

   Structural engineering depends upon a detailed knowledge of loads, physics and materials to understand and predict how structures support and resist self-weight and imposed loads. To apply the knowledge successfully structural engineers will need a detailed knowledge of mathematics and of relevant empirical and theoretical design codes.

5. History of structural engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_structural...

   The development of finite element programs has led to the ability to accurately predict the stresses in complex structures, and allowed great advances in structural engineering design and architecture. In the 1960s and 70s computational analysis was used in a significant way for the first time on the design of the Sydney Opera House roof. Many ...
