Technology deals with the artificial, science with the natural.” (Billington 1985)

Structural Engineering
Structural engineers are responsible for the detailed analysis and design of:

Architectural structures: Buildings, houses, factories. They must work in close cooperation with an architect who will ultimately be responsible for the design.

Civil Infrastructures: Bridges, dams, pipelines, offshore structures. They work with transportation, hydraulics, nuclear, and other engineers. For those structures, they play the leading role.

Aerospace, Mechanical, Naval structures: airplanes, spacecraft, cars, ships, submarines to ensure the structural safety of those important structures.

Structures and their Surroundings

    Structural design is affected by various environmental constraints:

  1. Major movements: For example, elevator shafts are usually shear walls good at resisting
    lateral load (wind, earthquake).
  2. Sound and structure interact:
  • A dome roof will concentrate the sound
  • A dish roof will diffuse the sound.

Architectural Design

Architectural design must respect various constraints:
Functionality: Influence of the adopted structure on the purposes for which the structure was erected.

Aesthetics: The architect often imposes his aesthetic concerns on the engineer. This, in turn, can place severe limitations on the structural system.

Economy: It should be kept in mind that the two largest components of a structure are labors and materials.
