Structural engineers are essential in designing and analyzing the framework of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure to ensure they can safely support loads and withstand environmental forces. They evaluate materials, structural stability, and safety codes to create resilient and durable designs.
By conducting stress analyses, reviewing load requirements, and integrating innovative techniques, structural engineers provide foundational support for construction projects.
Their expertise ensures that structures remain secure, functional, and compliant with regulations, contributing to public safety and the longevity of built environments.
