# Structural Analysis

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/structural-analysis

Structural analysis is the engineering practice of calculating how buildings, bridges, and other structures respond to loads such as gravity, wind, seismic forces, and traffic, in order to predict stresses, deflections, and stability. It relies on principles of mechanics and mathematical modeling, often using software like SAP2000, ETABS, or ANSYS. Civil and structural engineers use it to ensure structures are safe, efficient, and code-compliant before construction.
