Structural Engineering

• Structural Engineering – analysis of structures

• Derive values of forces & stresses

– design of structures

• Finalize materials & sizes

Purpose

• The purpose of engineering a structure is to ensure: – safety – functionality– economy

…under the most severe condition

during its lifespan


Analysis

• Application of Principles of Mechanics to determine:

– Distribution of load based on configuration– Induced force in each individual member


Design

• Determination of combination of material/size for the members on the basis of the Principles of Strength of Materials, to ensure:

– Non-failure of the material– Acceptable level of deformations– Overall economy


Tools Available

• Software Programs – Analysis – Design

• Databases – Material Properties
