STRUCTURE ENGINEERING (MTECH)
Overview
Structural Engineering is a special branch of Civil Engineering/Applied Mechanics which focuses on the use of the analysis and design of various structures that includes residential building, public building, bridges, roof trusses, and its components like walls, beams, columns and foundation. The scope is not limited to only the design of the structure; it also includes dynamic forces like wind analysis, earthquake and ensure the stability and safety of the structures. It is also concerned with developing the new materials for its use as an engineering material. The students pursuing this course study ideas and various research methods to prevent any damage to structure during the entire design period of the structure; it should stand without cracks and excessive deformation. Further, it also includes the repair and rehabilitation of the distressed structures. With the increase in infrastructure demand all over the world including India, professionals with Structural Engineering are in high demand in core companies, MNC consultancy firms, Government sectors, Railways and Bridge construction as well as in academics and R & D sectors.
