The history of structural engineering dates back to at least 2700 BC when the step pyramid for Pharaoh Djoser was built by Imhotep‚ the first engineer in history known by name. Pyramids were the most common major structures built by ancient civilizations because it is a structural form which is inherently stable and can be almost infinitely scaled (as opposed to most other structural forms‚ which cannot be linearly increased in size in proportion to increased loads).[1] Throughout ancient and

Civil engineering has been a fundamental law in the province of building for thousands of years‚ from the aqueducts’ of Ancient Greece to the modern Shard of London‚ furthermore it will be needed for many years to come and this is where my interest lies. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge‚ collapsing on the 7th December 1940 was the third largest suspension bridge when it was deconstructed; luckily nobody was injured but a dog. The bridge collapsed due to aeroelasticity force when its natural vibration plus
