Introduction to Structures

We have all familiar with the term of "Structures" but have you ever noticed whats the science behind building mega structures? whats the concept of civil engineering? Its not about building homes and residential houses, structural engineering starts from when a person as a client consult an engineer about building multistorey structure. There is no concept of designing and no logic in applying civil engineering concepts to a residential building of not more than three storeys unless seismic provisions are required. This is because normal structures have the capability to withstand all the forces, since these residential buildings are all load bearing structures a little bit consultation of structural engineer is required. We here demonstrate you the finest design strategies behind building a structure strong and capable enough to resist lateral loads as well as vertical loads. Being a civil engineer I want to impart whatever knowledge I have about structural designing. Lets have a look at the mega structures present in the world.

How many type of structures are there totally?
Well There are numerous types of structures, The first type of them is shown as above. The TOWER Structures.
Bridge Structures
Truss Structures
Frame Structures
Space Frame Structures
These are the basic types of structures, each of them are to be designed in a special manner of their own we'll discuss them in depth in our coming topics. Stay tuned with us.
