What is a Structure?

At its basic, structures are something built. It is an assemblage of structural parts that are strong enough to resist loads and must be usable for everyone.

How to Design Structures?

We can break the design of civil structures into several stages: (1) modeling, (2) load analysis, (3) structural analysis, and (4) design. Let's explore a basic overview of each stage.

How Do We Categorize Structures?

We can categorize structures by many classifications. Examples of which are either by function or direction. This post explains more about these two classifications.

Structural Modeling

Structural modeling is one of the stages in structural design. It involves creating the skeleton frame of the structure itself. Let's explore more in this series of posts.

#

3

Structural Loads

Analysis of structural loads is another stage of the whole structural design process. In this stage, we analyze the external forces that act on the structure.

#

4

Structural Analysis

Structural analysis is one of the stages in the whole design process. In this stage, we analyze the behavior of the structure under the given model and loads.

Structural Engineering

Structural engineering is a subdiscipline of civil engineering that deals with investigating, analyzing, and designing civil structures - shelters, buildings, etc.
