STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

19
Q

The prediction of the performance of a
given structure under prescribed loads
and/or other external effects, such as
support movement and temperature
changes.

It is an integral part of any
structural engineering project, its function being the prediction of the performance of the proposed structure.
