Design of Steel Structure

About: Design of Steel Structure

Structural engineering is an architectural service for designing of building structures. These include both the foundations that support a structure and the beams, columns, and other elements that make up its frame. Structural engineering ensures safety and public health by ensuring that a building can support its own weight and live within the limits of its foundation while resisting damage from natural disasters like earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes.

Structural engineering is a branch of civil engineering and structural mechanics that deals with the design, analysis and construction of buildings, bridges and other structures, from the micro-level of atoms and molecules to the macro-level of populations and economies.
