👉 Structural engineering involves designing and analyzing buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure to ensure they are safe, functional, and durable under various loads and environmental conditions. This field combines principles from physics, materials science, and mathematics to create blueprints that account for forces like gravity, wind, and seismic activity. Engineers use computer-aided design (CAD) software to model structures and perform simulations to predict how they will behave, ensuring they meet safety standards and performance requirements. The goal is to optimize material use, minimize costs, and enhance the longevity and resilience of structures while adhering to building codes and regulations.
