Structural engineering is one of the most important approaches in civil engineering since it specialized in providing safe structures for the human beings since it is not enough to design beautiful building architecturally but we have also to satisfy safety for our structures.
So the structures must be designed to be able to resist all potential loads that may be subjected to , so the structure must be designed to carry its own weight, superimposed and live loads also dynamic loads will be considered like earthquake and wind loads.
Structural modeling is extremely essential approach in structural engineering since structural modeling deals with representing the physical model in reality into mathematical model that we can analyze and design. So in modeling as we became more closer to reality our design will be more safe , sufficient and economic.
