All You Need to Know About Structural Engineering

Whether the pyramids of Egypt or the Acropolis in Greece, both rely on ‘safe’ designs from excellent engineering techniques. One of the reasons why these structures stand safe after so many years is that the ancient engineers must have accurately predicted the performance of shapes and materials used in the structures to design the load-bearing elements the same, safely. This method is used today and is known by structural engineering. Structural engineering shall therefore be defined as a branch of civil engineering that incorporates the applications of the laws of physics and mathematics to design the load-bearing elements in artificial ...
