Objectives of Structural Engineering
Structural engineering is the science and art of designing and making, with economy and elegance, buildings, bridges, frameworks, and other structures so that they can safely resist the forces to which they may be subjected.

Structural Engineering Process
• Determine types magnitudes of loads
• Determine structural context • geometric and geological information• cost / schedule / height/ etc. limitations
• Generate alternative structural systems
• Analyze one or more alternatives
• Select and perform detailed design
• Implement (usually done by contractor)

Types of loads
• Dead loads
• Live loads
• Dynamic loads (e.g., trains, equipment)
• Wind loads
• Earthquake loads
• Thermal loads
• Settlement loads

Dead Loads
• weight of the structure itself• floors, beams, roofs, decks, beams/stringers,
superstructure
• loads that are “always there”
![Page 8: An Introduction to Structural Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/544f6b20b1af9f2f638b5866/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Live Loads
• People, furniture, equipment
• Loads that may move or change mass or weight
• Minimum design loadings are usually specified in the building code

Load Example: Live Load in Ballroom
Live Load = 100 lb/ft^2Ballroom

Dynamic Loads
• Moving loads (e.g. traffic)
• Impact loads
• Gusts of wind
• Loads due to cycling machinery

Earthquake Loads
• Structure loaded when base is shaken
• Response of structure is dependent on the frequency of motion
• When frequencies match with natural frequency of structure - resonance

Load Paths in Structures
• Load Path is the term used to describe the path by which loads are transmitted to the foundations
• Different structures have different load paths
• Some structures have only one path
• Some have several (redundancy good)

Summary
• Structural Engineering:• identifies loads to be resisted• identifies alternatives for providing load paths
(arch, truss, frame, ...)• designs structure to provide safe and economical
load paths (material, size, connections)• to be economical and safe, we must be able to
predict what forces are in structure.
