    Structural theory involves the analysis and design of structures to withstand loads. Structural analysis is an integral part of structural engineering and involves determining how loads impact stresses and deflections. The results of structural analysis are used to evaluate if a design meets safety and serviceability codes, and the design is revised as needed until the codes are satisfied.

    STRUCTURAL THEORY

    Introduction

    Structural Analysis – is the prediction of the performance of a given


    structure under prescribed loads.
    Structural Engineering has long been a part of human endeavor, but
    Galileo is considered to be the originator of the theory of structures.
    The objective of a structural engineer is to design a structure that will
    be able to withstand all the loads to which it is subjected while serving its
    intended purpose throughout its intended life span.
    Structural engineering is the science of planning, designing, and
    constructing safe, economical structures. Structural analysis is an integral
    part of this process.
    Civil Engineer - is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design,
    construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including
    works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings.
    Named after the
    engineer Gustave
    Eiffel, whose company
    designed and built the
    tower.

    "Architects and engineers are among the most
    fortunate of men
    since they build their own monuments
    with public consent,
    public approval,
    and often public money. "

    Transportation engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the


    planning, functional design, operation and management of facilities for any mode of
    transportation in order to provide for the safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient,
    economical, and environmentally compatible movement of people and goods (transport).

    Water engineering as a sub-discipline of civil engineering is concerned


    with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water and sewage.

    Project management and Construction engineering is a professional


    discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction,
    and management of infrastructures such
    as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and utilities.

    Environmental and Energy engineering is the integration


    of science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment
    (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land
    for human habitation (house or home) and for other organisms, and to
    remediate pollution sites.

    Role of Structural Analysis in Structural
    Engineering Projects
    Involves establishment of the functional requirements Planning phase

    Sizes of the various members of the structural system selected


    in the planning phase are estimated based on approximate Preliminary structural design
    analysis, past experience, & code requirements.

    Involves determination of all loads that can be expected to


    act on the structure. Estimation of loads

    Values of the loads are used to carry out an analysis of the


    structure in order to determine the stresses or stress resultants
    in the members & the deflections at various points of the Structural analysis
    structure,.

    Results of the analysis are used to determine whether or not


    the structures satisfies the safety & serviceability requirements Are the safety and Revised
    of the design codes. serviceability no structural
    requirements satisfied? design

    yes

    Construction phase
