Structural analysis is a fundamental aspect of engineering that focuses on understanding how structures behave under different loads and conditions. Whether it’s a building, bridge, tower, or machine component, structural analysis ensures that the structure can safely withstand forces without failure. The “functions” of structural analysis refer to the key roles and processes involved in evaluating the strength, stability, and performance of a structure.
At its core, structural analysis answers one main question: Will this structure stand safely under expected conditions.
