Structural Engineering
This is a really big area but mainly concentrated on bridges and buildings. For the moment, some background information on how structural engineers can contribute to the aesthetics of buildings and bridges - an area usually presumed to be the dominion of the architect - can be got from a relevant set of lecture notes for architecture students:
- Structure in Architecture (29 KB)
- Precedence (10,700 KB)
- Structural Art (7,207 KB)
- Architects & Engineers (2,524 KB)
The lecture notes section has much more detailed technical information about different aspects of structural engineering.
For more general information, the Institution of Structural Engineers’ website has some good information starting here.
