Structural design
In civil engineering structural design is an iterative process of applying engineering mechanics and past experience to create a functional, economic, and, most importantly, safe structure for the public to enjoy. Using structural analysis techniques and comforming to design specifications , the design engineer works to create a solution that is to everyone's benefit.
Sadly, structural design is also a process that has evolved to its modern refinement through hard lessons. See structural collapse, serviceability, and serviceability failure.
