Structural Engineering Concepts

This document provides an overview of key structural engineering concepts and elements. It discusses basic structural concepts like compression, tension, bending, and shear. It also covers gravity and lateral loads, different types of beams, foundations including footings, floor systems using girders, beams and decks, and lateral load resisting systems. It describes how structural engineering software like ETABS and STAAD can be used to model and analyze structural systems.
