Structural engineering is concerned with the design of [[bridge]]s, buildings, offshore [[oil platform]]s, [[dam]]s etc. Structural engineering also depends on the materials that are studied. There are several types of materials, but the most common in structural studies are metal, wood, and reinforced concrete. Structural studies require not only good knowledge of mathematics and physics, but also knowledge of national regulations. [[Structural design]] and [[structural analysis]] are components of [https://structalis.fr structural engineering] and a key component in the structural design process. This involves computing the stresses and forces at work within a structure. There are some structural engineers who work in non-typical areas, designing aircraft, spacecraft and even biomedical devices. Major design concerns are building seismic resistant structures and [[seismic retrofit|seismically retrofitting]] existing structures, and otherwise designing structures that can withstand the forces applied by a dynamic earth. |
