Structural Engineer
Structural engineers play an important role in the construction industry because they deal with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads.
Structural engineering is usually considered a specialty within civil engineering, but it can also be studied in its own right. Structural engineers are most commonly involved in the design of buildings and other large structures, such as bridges and dams. They can also be involved in the design of machinery, equipment, vehicles or any item where structural integrity affects the item's function or safety.
Structural engineers must ensure their designs satisfy design criteria for safety, serviceability and performance. Structural engineering theory is based upon physical laws and empirical knowledge of the structural performance of different geometries and materials. Structural engineering design utilizes a relatively small number of basic structural elements to build up structural systems that can be very complex.
Most structural engineers are employed in the construction industry. However, there are also structural engineers in the aerospace, automobile and shipbuilding industries. In the construction industry, they work closely with architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, quantity surveyors and construction managers. Typical structures designed by a structural engineer include buildings, towers, stadiums and bridges. Other structures, such as oil rigs, space satellites, aircraft and ships, also may be designed by a structural engineer.
Structural engineers ensure that buildings and bridges are built to be strong enough and stable enough to resist all appropriate structural loads (e.g., gravity, wind, snow, rain, earthquake, earth pressure, temperature, and traffic). They also design structures to be stiff enough to not deflect or vibrate beyond acceptable limits. Fatigue may be an important consideration for designing bridges, aircraft or other structures that experience a large number of stress cycles over their lifetime. Consideration is also given to durability of materials against possible deterioration that may impair performance over the design lifetime.
