Bearing walls, also known as load-bearing walls, are structural elements in a building that carry and distribute loads from the roof, floors, or other structural members down to the foundation. Unlike non-load-bearing walls, bearing walls are integral to the structural integrity of a building and cannot be removed without compromising stability. Characteristics of Bearing Walls…
Understanding the Importance of Structural Engineering Terminology Essential Structural Engineering Terms Explained Navigating the world of structural engineering can be daunting with its intricate terminology. But fear not! Whether you’re a budding engineer, an architecture enthusiast, or simply curious, we’ve broken down the most essential terms for you. Dive in to demystify the jargon and…
The process used for determining the adequacy of a wood, steel, or even a concrete beam is essentially the same. Once a beam has been selected the method is as follows: Determine the LoadsThe first step in the structural analysis of a beam is determining the amount of load, or weight the beam is going to…
The elements of beam design is a topic of great interest for structural engineers and contractors. Beam design is integral in the design and construction of a structure. Most structural beams are comprised of wood, steel or concrete. Each of these construction materials reacts differently under the stress of a load. Each also has its…
Designing Earthquake Safe Buildings and Structures Buildings and structures are susceptible to the ravaging devastation of earthquakes. Great amounts of research have been performed to determine what types of buildings and structures are able to withstand an earthquake and how structural engineers can design earthquake-safe buildings and structures for the future. Flexibility is Key One…
