Structural Engineering
• What does a Structural Engineer do?
– A Structural Engineer designs the structural systems and structural elements in buildings, bridges, stadiums, tunnels, and other civil engineering works (bones)
– Design: process of determining location, material, and size of structural elements to resist forces acting in a structure

Engineering Design Process
• Identify the problem (challenge)• Explore alternative solutions
– Research past experience
– Brainstorm
– Preliminary design of most promising solutions
• Analyze and design one or more viable solutions• Testing and evaluation of solution
– Experimental testing (prototype) or field tests
– Peer evaluation
• Build solution using available resources (materials, equipment, labor, cost)

Design Process in Structural Engineering
• Select material for construction
• Determine appropriate structural system for a particular case. Justify (tell me why) you used these particular structural systems.
• Determine forces acting on a structure
• Calculate size of members and connections to avoid failure (collapse) or excessive deformation

Forces Acting in Structures
• Force induced by gravity (F=ma)
– Dead Loads (permanent): self-weight of structure and attachments
– Mass Vs. Weight
– Compression, Tension, bending, torsion

Definition of Stress
Section X
T
T
Section X
Stress = Force/Area
T
Example (English Units):
T = 1,000 lb (1 kip)A = 10 in2.
Stress = 1,000/10 = 100 lb/in2
Example (SI Units):
1 lb = 4.448 N (Newton)1 in = 25.4 mm
T = 1,000 lb x 4.448 N/lb = 4448 NA = 10 in2 x (25.4 mm)2 = 6450 mm2
(1 in)2
Stress = 4448/6450 = 0.69 N/mm2
(MPa)

Definition of Strain

T
T
Lo
Strain = L / Lo
Example:
Lo = 10 in.L = 0.12 in.
Strain = 0.12 / 10 = 0.012 in./in.
Strain is dimensionless!!(same in English or SI units)

Engineering Properties of Structural Elements
• Strength– Ability to withstand a given stress without failure
• Depends on type of material and type of force (tension or compression)
Tensile Failure Compressive Failure

Engineering Properties of Structural Elements
• Stiffness (Rigidity)
– Property related to deformation
– Stiffer structural elements deform less under the same applied load
– Stiffness depends on type of material (E), structural shape, and structural configuration
– Two main types
• Axial stiffness
• Bending stiffness
![Page 29: Structural Engineering](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033020/56812be3550346895d9056b7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Axial Stiffness

T
T
Lo
Stiffness = T / L
Example:
T = 100 lbL = 0.12 in.
Stiffness = 100 lb / 0.12 in. = 833 lb/in.

Bending Stiffness
Stiffness = Force / Displacement
Example:
Force = 1,000 lbDisplacement = 0.5 in.
Stiffness = 1,000 lb / 0.5 in. = 2,000 lb/in.
