Structural Engineering as a career is for professionals who have bachelor’s or master’s degrees in civil engineering. A career in structural engineering is very challenging and good analytical and mathematical skills are required. Civil engineering is one of the engineering disciplines in which students learn about the creation, design, and maintenance of physical and natural … Read more
Support is a part of a structure that resists loads. it helps structural members to resist force, moment, etc. Support is indicated by reactions that oppose the load. In this article, we will learn about various types of support and their reactions to Structures. The main function of support is to transfer load from structural … Read more

It can design any type of structure such as building, dam, bridge, canal, tunnel, etc. It is very important for a civil structural engineer to learn Staad … Read more
In this blog post, we will discuss sway and non-sway frames. Before starting the description of sway and non-sway frames, let’s get a brief idea about what is frame. What is Frame? A frame is consists of several bars joined together in a particular manner. These bars are known as members. Structural members under tension … Read more
In this post, we will learn the types of beams used in construction. Beams can be classified based on support, material, cross-Section, geometry, equilibrium condition, etc. The beam is a key component of a structure. It is almost impossible to make concrete frame buildings without beams. Beam transfer the vertical loads, shear forces, and bending … Read more
Normally, materials are subjected to external forces when they are utilized. Mechanical Engineers figure out those powers and material researchers how materials disfigure or break as a component of power, time, temperature, and different conditions. Materials researchers find out about these mechanical properties by testing materials. A portion of the significant mechanical properties of the … Read more
In this type of footing, at least two columns are supported in a row and a common foundation is provided. A combined footing is provided when the bearing capacity of the soil is low and required more surface area. Basically, It is made of reinforced cement concrete (R.C.C). Combined footing distributes the load from the superstructure to … Read more
A slab is a very important component of a structure. In ancient times, people used natural materials like mud, clay, bamboo to construct slabs. But the problem was that these slabs were not much durable or people did not have technical knowledge about materials. As civilization grew, peoples start innovating different materials to construct slabs. … Read more
Lap length and development length are extensions of the reinforcement bar. These two concepts are used while designing a structure. They are further implemented while making a bar bending schedule. In this article, we will understand the difference between lap length and development length. Lap Length: When reinforcement bars come from the factory they are … Read more
Euler’s theory of column buckling is used to calculate the critical buckling load or the crippling load of a vertical strut or column. Assumptions of Euler’s Theory of Column Buckling Euler’s theory is based on some assumptions as given below. Initially, the column is perfectly straight, homogeneous, isotropic, and obeys the hook’s law. The cross-section … Read more
