Structural engineering is a part of civil engineering that entails the application of mathematics, physics, and empirical engineering. These disciplines are applied to safely and adequately design the structure, which can also be referred to as the ‘bones’ of a building.
Structural engineering is entailed when constructing so that all man-made elements can be accommodated on the structure.
Modern structural engineering is extensive and provides a detailed body of skills and knowledge that can be accurately applied to predict the performance of a variety of shapes and materials that are used in constructing buildings. It also predicts whether the added loads will provide any stresses to the structure.
The principles of structural engineering were implemented thousands of years ago. This is evident in structures like the Acropolis in Greece and the Pyramids of Egypt.
What Is the Work of Structural Engineers?
Structural engineers are well trained and educated professionals. Structural engineering in Allentown, PA, ensures that people live their life in safe and well-built residential buildings, walk on properly built and safe bridges, among other structures. They ensure that these structures don’t crack or collapse when subjected to heavy loads.
Structural engineering in Allentown, PA, does this by applying technical knowledge. They use their experience to select the different types of construction materials that can be bent into various shapes and design structures and geometries that can be able to withstand the stresses and pressure of their environment i.e., storms, gravity loads, and earthquakes.
JHA Companies are qualified, well-trained, and experienced structural engineers who diligently serve their customers in a manner that surpasses their expectations.
