Effective structural design is challenging as the process requires an engineer to carefully consider loads, stresses, and forces at every step. They must also think about the environment in which it will be built and how it might affect other nearby structures. In this article, we share a few of the most important structural design considerations an engineer should keep in mind at all times. But first, let’s recap what exactly is meant by structural design.
