usually involves the establishment of the functional requirements of the proposed structure, the general
layout and dimensions of the structure, consideration of the possible types of structures and the types
of materials to be used. This phase may also involve consideration of non-structural factors, such as

structural system that meets the functional requirements and is expected to be the most economical.
This phase is perhaps the most crucial one of the entire project and requires experience and knowledge
of construction practices in addition to a thorough understanding of the behavior of structures.
