- Structural analysis is done to calculate stresses in the structural components, on the bases of loads acting on structures.
- According to the strength of materials used for structures, sections of structural elements like beams, columns, slabs, etc. are designed.
- Structural analysis requires much calculation, hence advanced computing software are used to carry out structural analysis and design.
- It includes design of reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and steel structures as concrete and steel are most widely used material.
- Design of multistoried buildings, towers, retaining walls, water tanks, bridges requires skill and knowledge of structural engineering.
- Structure design should be safe, durable and economic. Design of structure should be earthquake resistant.
