Structural engineering is a critical discipline within civil engineering that focuses on the design, analysis, and maintenance of structures to ensure they are safe, stable, and durable. This field supports the development of innovative, large-scale, and complex structures such as skyscrapers, industrial facilities, bridges, and large-span structures. Structural engineers consider factors such as material strength, load capacities, and environmental influences to create structures that meet modern demands for safety, functionality, and sustainability.
