	Structural analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Structural analysis comprises the set of physical laws and mathematics required to study and predict the behavior of structures.
		There are three approaches to the analysis: the mechanics of materials approach (also know as strength of materials), the elasticity theory approach (which is actually a special case of the more general field of continuum mechanics), and the finite element approach.
		For the analysis of entire systems, this approach can be used in conjunction with statics, giving rise to the method of sections and method of joints for truss analysis, moment distribution for small rigid frames, and portal frame and cantilever method for large rigid frames.

	Structural engineer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Structural engineers ensure the buildings or bridges are built to be strong enough to against the environmental loading (e.g gravity, wind and earthquake load).
		Reinforced concrete, composite structure, timber, masonry and structural steel designs are the general structural design courses that will be introduce in the next level of the education of structural engineering.
		The structural analysis courses which include structural mechanics, structural dynamics and structural failure analyses are designed to build up the fundamental analysis skills and theories for structural engineering students.

	STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
		The first step in FE analysis is to model/idealise the geometry of the structure for the particular requirements/goals of the structural analysis on hand.
		Transforming the geometry of the real structure into the geometrical model for finite element analysis is a complex process in which engineering knowledge and expertise relating to various aspects of structural behaviour/analysis, computer software and hardware facilities and their limitations have to be considered.
		In the next stage of analysis process, the finite elements to be used and the meshing pattern (including size) of the FE model and the boundary conditions are to be decided/modelled.

		The analysis was further complicated by the fact that cable-stayed bridges are nonlinear structures.

		Structural analysis of the Owensboro Bridge was a major undertaking, even with the measures taken to reduce the effort.

		The software analysis developed by BPP utilises a unique hybrid analytic/finite element computational method which is capable of correctly accounting for the structural behaviour of helical and cylindrical layers and of interlayer forces in such structures.
		The analysis component of this technique describes the load/deformation behaviour of the helical, cylindrical or inner cores of the cable as an analytically described super-element.
		This analysis is particularly suitable for predicting wave height and other limits of umbilical and marine cable installation and repair configurations.

		Skehan's analysis of Sirach poetry is comprised mostly of philological commentary.
		The structure of the poem will be discussed in terms of the content, how this is reflected in the semantic parallels in addition to grammatical and phonetic parallels.
		The analysis of van der Meer and de Moor and their followers (The Structural Analysis of Biblical and Canaanite Poetry, [1988]) suffers from their belief that the structure of the poem can be discerned, primarily, through "markers of separation": vocatives, imperatives, deictic particles and tri-cola none of which need appear consistently.

	Failure analysis services by STC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Failure analysis is the art of explaining unexpected, premature, or catastrophic structural damage through identification of all contributory factors and the root cause.
		Failure analysis uses stress analysis and strain gage testing to reveal the stress state in the region of failure initiation.
		With the incorporation of strain gage testing, failure analysis identifies the source of fatigue damage that, for example, caused a pressure vessel to crack or fan blades to break.

	NEW YORK SCRAPERS - ADDITIONAL INFO III
		In the 1 and 2 WTC, the trusses that were welded to bolted support consoles on the inside of the facade elements -- consisting of sections of columns and the interconnecting spandrel plates -- and which supported the floor plates are considered to be the cause of the collapse.
		Despite the PA as early as in 1963 asking the structural engineers to stick to the city code and the subsequent decision to demonstrate the fire resistance of the structure as a whole, as the construction began five years later, the agency had already shifted to the more lenient regulations that the Authority-owned land allowed.
		Structural means, such as exterior louvers and separate, cantilevered glass walls outside the main curtain wall -- creating a buffer zone of semi-heated/cooled air in the intermediate space -- aren't particularly improving the view from an apartment or the aesthetics of the building and thus are mostly confined to other occupational uses.
