Beams/Foundations/Frames - Buildings/Structures July 2022

One of the most significant aspects of constructing a building or structure is structural engineering and design. It can include a variety of services for the analysis and design of the renovation of existing arrangements, new structures and foundation systems. As well, services can consist of assessing existing structures such as the analysis of a failing structure.

The structural design process of a building can be divided into three stages: load calculation, structural analysis and design. With rigorous structural testing, evaluations, and inspections, structural designing plays a significant role in satisfying the operational safety, practical functioning, and budgetary resources of the project while ensuring that all structural elements remain stable and safe.

Structural design provides all the crucial information about foundations, walls, floors, roof types, beams, material quality, and more to ensure that the structure is built to be safe and sound. It is essential for civil engineers to work with design aesthetics and build structures that can withstand its loads and pressures. In this edition of eMag, we have covered topics such as

• Plinth Beam, Beam types and their applications
• Framed Structures
• Structural engineers contribution to green buildings
• Load and no-load bearing walls and Grillage foundation
