	Structural engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Structural engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the design of any structural system(s), the purpose of which is to support and resist various loads.
		Most commonly structural engineers are involved in the design of buildings and nonbuilding structures, but also play an essential role in designing machinery where structural integrity of the design item is a matter of safety and reliability.
		Typically, entry-level structural engineers may design simple beams, columns, and floors of a new building, including calculating the loads on each member and the load capacity of various building materials (steel, timber, masonry, concrete).

	Structural Engineering
		Structural engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the design and development of structures (like buildings, bridges, stadiums, tunnels and wharves) in a manner that is resilient against the varying forces to which it may be subjected.
		The primary objective of a structural engineer is a finished product that will serve its function efficiently, that will conform to its allocated budget and, at the same time, that will not collapse or deform itself (for example, by bending, sagging or vibrating to an unacceptable degree).
		After properly assessing these loads, the engineer must design a structural system that is appropriate for handling them, establish the suitable dimensions for supports such as beams, slabs and foundations, and determine grades and proportions of cement, sand, etc. The engineer may possibly be also requested to oversee the actual construction phase of the project.

	Godden Structural Engineering Slide Library: Introduction
		Finally, it is found that in certain courses the use of case studies is an ideal means of both teaching and learning the whole process of structural engineering from the choice of geometry, to structural idealization, equation solving, and finally to design, construction, and structural behavior.
		Most structural systems are illustrated, and throughout the Library certain structures are singled out in each section for more extensive coverage using overall views, views from different angles, and close-ups of details such as boundary supports that have a significant influence on the method of analysis and on the resulting structural behavior.
		The structural system and the degree of indeterminacy in the construction phase are often completely different from the load-carrying system after completion, as in a continuous bridge constructed from a series of simply supported precast beams that only gains its continuity with the casting of the integral deck slab.
