Structural engineering is a branch of civil engineering that focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of structures such as buildings, bridges, dams, and tunnels. Structural engineers are responsible for ensuring that these structures are able to withstand the forces and loads they will be subjected to, such as gravity, wind, earthquakes, and snow. They use principles of physics and mathematics to develop safe and efficient designs, often working closely with architects and construction companies to bring their designs to life. Structural engineering plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and stability of our built environment.
