STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

3 . In building construction, the structural engineering field is a subset of civil

engineering

1 . It is a field of engineering that deals witch the design of any structural

system (s), the purpose of witch is to support and resist various loads.

5 . Large man-made objects- everything from furniture to medical equipment

and from vehicles (trucks, aircraft, spacecraft and watercraft) to cranes- require
the input of a structural engineering.

2 . In a practical sense, structural engineering is largely the application of

Newtonian mechanics to the design of structural elements and systems that
support buildings, bridges, walls (including retaining walls), dams, tunnels, etc.
3 . Most commonly, structural engineers are involved in the design of buildings
and nonbuilding structures, but also playa n essential role in designing
machinery where structual integrity of the design ítem is a matter of safety
and reliability.
3. Now look at your dictionary and find the words.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS

Structural engineers plan and design structures of all types. As structures become
more complex, the structural engineer strives to provine improved building
performance. They must identify special building problems and find innovative
solutions. They deal witch advanced building materials, earthquake resistance,
building aerodynamics, contruction management, rehabilitation and maintenance
of structures, energy efficiency, ice-structure interation, computer analysis of
structures, and much more.
