Structural engineering is a specialized branch of civil engineering focused on the design, analysis, and construction of structures that support or resist loads. This discipline ensures that buildings, bridges, dams, towers, and other infrastructures are safe, stable, and capable of withstanding various forces such as gravity, wind, earthquakes, and other environmental conditions. Structural engineering uses principles of physics, mathematics, and materials science to evaluate the strength, rigidity, and stability of structures. It makes use of modern tools and software for simulations and modeling, ensuring compliance with safety standards and building codes. By innovating with materials like steel, concrete, and composites, structural engineering contributes to sustainable and resilient construction practices. Their expertise is crucial in addressing challenges posed by urbanization, climate change, and natural disasters, ultimately enhancing the safety and longevity of the built environment. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to structural engineering. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
