👉 Structural Steel Engineering (SSE) is a specialized branch of civil engineering that focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of structures primarily constructed from steel. It involves analyzing and optimizing the properties of steel to ensure that steel components can safely support loads, withstand environmental stresses, and meet structural requirements. SSE engineers use advanced materials science, mechanical engineering principles, and computational tools to design steel frames, beams, columns, trusses, and other structural elements. They also consider factors like corrosion resistance, weldability, and sustainability in their designs, aiming to create efficient, durable, and cost-effective steel structures for a wide range of applications, from skyscrapers and bridges to industrial facilities and transportation infrastructure.
