Job Description
● Analyze configurations of the basic components of a structure.
● Calculate the pressures, stresses, and strains that each component, such as a beam or lintel, will experience from other parts of the structure.
● Consider the strength of various materials, e.g. timber, concrete, steel, and brick, to see how their inclusion may necessitate a change of structural design.
● Examine structures at risk of collapse and advise how to improve their structural integrity.
● Use computers and computer-aided design (CAD) technology for simulation purposes.
