👉 Structural Engineering (S.E.) is a specialized branch of civil engineering focused on designing and analyzing structures to ensure their safety, stability, and functionality under various loads and environmental conditions. It involves the application of principles from mechanics, materials science, and physics to create structures that can withstand forces such as gravity, wind, seismic activity, and thermal expansion. Structural Engineers use sophisticated computational tools and software to model and simulate structural behavior, ensuring that designs meet rigorous safety standards and performance criteria. Their work spans a wide range of structures, including buildings, bridges, dams, and tunnels, playing a critical role in infrastructure development and urban planning.
