Why structural health is important for the safety of buildings

Structural Engineering

Structural engineering consultation services are essential for nearly every construction project.

These services will study in-depth various factors like soil strength, load factor, environmental conditions, wind direction, soil salinity, neighborhoods, and more.

If structural alterations or repairs are required on a completed building, these services will review every parameter several times to ensure the structural integrity of the completed structure is unquestionable.

Understanding structural design

Structural design is an essential part of civil engineering and deals directly with the integrity and structural strength of buildings and other structures.

Structural analysis, planning, and designing are essential particularly when large skyscrapers, tunnels, bridges, towers, and even offshore oil rigs are constructed. Civil engineers would therefore be required to follow the structural design created by experts in structural design and related areas.

Structural Audit

Structural audits are important for the safety of buildings and other structures.

The process includes physical inspections and surveys to determine structural safety, identify potential flaws, and recommend retrofitting/repair solutions.

Licensed consultants or structural engineers are generally entrusted with the task of structural audit and their analysis will span multiple facets like calculations, assessing structural detailing at the site, checking all relevant documents, and other related areas.

Older Buildings

A structural audit is an important safety and maintenance measure for any building or structure.

Older buildings should undergo a structural audit every 5 years, but audits should be performed more frequently for buildings that are several decades old.
