Structural
engineering is concerned with the structural design and structural analysis of
buildings, bridges, towers, flyovers (overpasses), tunnels, off shore
structures like oil and gas fields in the sea, aerostructure and other
structures. This involves identifying the loads which act upon a structure and
the forces and stresses which arise within that structure due to those loads,
and then designing the structure to successfully support and resist those
loads.
Structural
engineers are concerned with the conception, analysis, design and construction
of components or assemblies to resist loads arising from internal and external
forces.
Solid
mechanics is the study of the distribution of stresses that a given load
produces when applied to a solid element, and the calculation of the resulting
strains, given the characteristics of the materials that make up that element.The
solid mechanics enables the structural engineer to assemble elements, such as
beams and columns, into a structure that will resist both static and dynamic
loads, such as gravity, wind, snow and earthquakes.
In addition
to steel and concrete, new materials that are being developed and used in structural
engineering include reinforced plastics and polymers. The rehabilitation of
existing structures weakened by corrosion continues to be an important task.
Career:
After the completion of degree you can work with consulting structural
engineers, construction companies, building development companies, engineering
departments of private corporations, aircraft and aerospace related companies,
public utilities, and government agencies and the best one is you can make your
own company.
