Structural engineering is the design of structural support systems for buildings, bridges, earthworks, and industrial structures. This branch of engineering focuses on supporting a load safely relying on principles of mathematical physics to design these supports. The work is carried out by structural engineers, though in many areas, the lines between civil and structural engineering are blurred.

As buildings become increasingly complicated, many universities and licensing boards are creating separate programs and certifications for structural engineers helping to distinguish it as its own separate field.

Structural Analysis Engineering

The field of structural analysis engineering is generally divided into three separate categories: civil, architectural, and mechanical. Structural analysis engineering theory is generally based upon physic laws and experiential knowledge of past performance of various types of structural materials.

The stability of the surface on which the structure will stand, it's wind conditions, and impact resistance of the various components of a structure is examined in preparing a structural analysis. Structural engineers, those responsible for the analysis of a structure, are highly educated and trained to decipher the complexities of materials capabilities, geometric design, and stress factors - both intended and exact determining the feasibility of a particular structural design.

Structural Engineering Consultant

Many upper-level positions require a master's degree. These classes offer the understanding of thermodynamics, structural engineering and project management that is necessary to work in this field.

A civil engineering firm may also develop roads, water and sewer plans to connect the new building to the surrounding infrastructure. Next, a structural engineering firm must be consulted. The engineers from this firm will design a complete structural system for the new building.
