Structural Design

Structural engineering is a part of Civil engineering that mainly focus on analyzing and designing structures such as buildings, towers, bridges, tunnels etc. that can withstand both natural and man-made forces.
Structural engineers generally make use of concept of physics and mathematics for designing a structure and making sure that the structure doesn’t fall or collapse.
Structural engineering is a sub domain of civil engineering wherein engineers perform certain calculations and also look at several factors such as
-> Forces the structure can encounter
-> Materials that should be used to make a sturdy structure
-> Shape of the structure
For example, if a structure engineer constructs a bridge, he has to see that the bridge not only hold itself but also handles varieties of forces such as force caused due to traffic driving on it and forces which can be caused due to wind or any other natural conditions.
Companies that provide Structural Engineering Services in Bangalore generally take certain properties into consideration while analyzing a structure such as strength, weight, stiffness of the materials.
For instance, steel is heavier as compared to woods. In addition to this, different shapes serve different purposes. For example, square shape can handle more weight than a triangular shape.
Therefore, structural engineers perform calculations to identify which types of materials and shapes should be used to make a sturdy yet modern structure.
