Structural Civil Engineering
By Manlio J Bertucci
Introduction
• Structural Engineering is a field of Civil Engineering in which we design and analyze the structures which are supposed to support and resist a load.
CCTV Tower (Beijing, China)
What we do…
• Structural Engineers will mainly be working with the design of buildings and big structures, but their work will go as far as the design of any item in which the structural integrity could be at risk, ensuring correct functioning and safety of the structure.
Main Objectives• To ensure our designs meet
the standard criterias.• Make sure the structure
life is known so to be able to intervene on possible failures b4 they happen.
• Make sure our structures can withstand massive loads as well as climate change and natural disasters.
You’re doing it wrong!
