Structural Design
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
Structural design is the process of determining the size, shape, and materials of load-bearing elements—such as beams, columns, foundations, and trusses—so a structure safely carries anticipated loads while meeting cost and aesthetic goals. It follows structural analysis and applies building codes and material standards (steel, concrete, timber, etc.). Structural engineers and architects collaborate on structural design for buildings, bridges, and infrastructure projects.
