Structural analysis is used when calculating how much weight load- bearing structures such as buildings, bridges, soil, machinery and so forth, can hold. This type of analysis draws on principles from a variety of disciplines including applied mechanics, materials science and applied mathematics to analyze factors such as the deformations, internal forces, stresses, support reactions, accelerations and stability of a particular structure and therefore determine that structure’s weight-bearing capacity. Structural analysis is therefore a vital part of engineering and architectural design. | Structural analysis is used when calculating how much weight load- bearing structures such as buildings, bridges, soil, machinery and so forth, can hold.

Structural analysis is used when calculating how much weight load- bearing structures such as buildings, bridges, soil, machinery and so forth, can hold. This type of analysis draws on principles from a variety of disciplines including applied mechanics, materials science and applied mathematics to analyze factors such as the deformations, internal forces, stresses, support reactions, accelerations and stability of a particular structure and therefore determine that structure’s weight-bearing capacity. Structural analysis is therefore a vital part of engineering and architectural design.
