Structural Analysis

In this lesson, we will explore the field of structural analysis, which is the process of determining the effects of loads on physical structures and how those loads are transmitted throughout the structure. We will start by discussing the different types of loads that can be applied to a structure, including dead loads, live loads, and environmental loads. We will then move on to explore the various methods of structural analysis, including the use of mathematical models and computer simulations. We will also discuss the design of structural members, such as beams, columns, and trusses, and how they are affected by the loads they bear.
