Structural engineering is the field of engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads. It involves the design of buildings and large nonbuilding structures. This category is for sites providing information about structural engineering with an emphasis on building codes, standards and current research.- Category ID : 429543
Seeks to develop reliable, practical, and cost-effective guidelines and standards of practice for the identification and inspection of at-risk steel moment frame buildings, the repair or upgrading of damaged buildings, the design of new construction, and the rehabilitation of undamaged buildings.
