Structural engineering is one of the oldest types of engineering, dating back to when early humans constructed shelters using tree branches and vines. Structural engineers ensure that buildings and structures are designed to withstand various pressures and stresses while remaining safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing over their usage lifetime. They must consider visual design requirements as well as safety, costs and using materials efficiently. Structural engineers work with architects, engineers and builders to integrate structural components into overall building plans. Their work plays an important role in public safety by allowing accurate assessments of how structures will endure forces like earthquakes, winds or collisions.

Oldest But The Best
Structural engineering is one of the specialization in the field of civil engineering wherein it concentrates more on the framework of structures, and on the designing of those structures that will hold up against the tensions and pressures of their environment and continue to be safe, protected and steady throughout their usage. Structural engineering is an innovative occupation that makes a substantial contribution to facilities, market, in addition to leisure and household advancements. Structural engineering is considered as one of the oldest types of engineering. Dating back when made of stone houses are not yet developed , our ancestors used tree branches that being lashed together with vines to make a shelter. Throughout recorded history, people have been designing and building increasingly larger and more sophisticated structures, from primitive huts to the present structures of houses. One of the roles of structural engineers is to ensure that materials and resources are used efficiently. For example structural engineers must be able to determine the optimal material grade that ensures safety and function without unnecessarily raising costs. Structural engineers must be able to work within the design aesthetics called for by the project. Thus, structural engineering plays a crucial role by marrying visual appeal, practical function, and budgetary resources in a way that satisfies all needs. Under structural engineering is the analysis and designing of structures such as structures, bridges, towers, aquatic structures, dams, tunnels, keeping walls and other facilities. Structural engineering underpins and sustains the developed environment, where structures have to be safe, functional, long lasting, visually pleasing and affordable. It uses physics and mathematics to standard building products such as concrete, stone, glass, steel and lumber and ingenious engineering products, consisting of aluminum, polymers and carbon fiber A structural engineer is most commonly involved in the designing of building and non building structures . They design roof framing (beams, rafters, joists, trusses), floor framing (floor decks, joists, beams, trusses, girders), arches, columns, braces, frames, foundations and walls," according to the National Council of Structural Engineers Association. In terms of bridges, structural engineer is the one who designs the decks , even the riding surface, girders or stringers and piers. Constructing the bridges the materials needed includes steel, concrete, wood, masonry, and aluminum. Engineers design the structure to resist forces from gravity, earthquakes, high winds, water, soil, collisions and blast explosions. Structural engineers also plays an essential role in designing machinery where structural integrity of the design item impacts safety and reliability Structural engineers is part of the construction team along with the architects and engineers. According to the Institution of Structural Engineers, "in a nutshell, if a structure was a human body, then the architect would be concerned with the body shape and appearance, and the structural engineer would be concerned with the skeleton and sinews." They typically operates in groups and take a look at the method a structure is to be constructed. They make sure structures are strong enough to endure natural forces and loads enforced by the nature of its usage. They thoroughly study and screens both kind and product, brand-new options are established which promote much safer, more eco-friendly structures and structures. Some structural engineers operate in the design of structures, others specialize in the structure of structures and some operate in research study. Structural engineers frequently deal with designers, home builders, mechanical, chemical and electrical engineers to make sure those parts of the structure are safe and efficient in satisfying their designated function. They likewise ensure structures utilize proper products effectively. They are also included with the design of brand-new structures, also they are often included in the demolition or taking apart of a structure,

Structural engineers need to pick proper products, such as concrete, lumber, masonry and steel, to satisfy design requirements and to ensure the quality of the structures that’s going to build. They are frequently included in checking the work and recommending service providers when building has actually started. Since structural engineering is vast field and has its application in almost all the important engineering design, structural engineer must be very competent, decisive, efficient and quick decision maker. He has to make all the decision keeping in mind the fact that how his working is going to affect the economy and safety of the resulting structure. The field of work in structural engineering is crucial because it directly impacts the safety and durability of buildings and structures. For example it is structural engineering that allows for an accurate estimation of safe weight maximums on bridges, the storm force winds a warehouse or facility can withstand, or the magnitude of tremors a skyscraper can endure during an earthquake.Structures must be able to deal with the conditions in which they are built.
Structural engineers role is to design structures to hold up against pressures and tensions enforced through ecological conditions and human usage. They make sure structures and other structures do not deflect, turn, vibrate exceedingly or collapse which they stay safe and steady throughout their usage. In simple words, structural engineers secures that the structures do not drop and bridges do not collapse. Structural engineering is an unnoticeable profession to others because they often work behind the construction sites and there some circumstances that they work inside the office concentration in the project design. But, structural engineering is probably one of the most honorable professions in the society. Structural engineering may have been one of the hardest fields to pursue because definitely, the field is not for the average and for those who are determined to pursue it. If you are really interested and determined to take structural engineering why not grab the chance and fulfilled not just because of getting high salary but by seeing the lives of mankind a little bit better.
