Structural Design
Structural design is the methodical investigation of the stability, strength and rigidity of structures. The basic objective in structural analysis and design is to produce a structure capable of resisting all applied loads without failure during its intended life. In other words, structural engineers are primarily concerned with the safety and stability of structures that they design.
At WCS, we provide a comprehensive set of structural engineering services to support the design, construction, and improvement of building structures. The basic tasks of our structural engineers relate numerical quantities of physical forces to physical configurations of force-resisting elements. The process iterates between analysis and design until convergence is achieved.
