Structural engineering plays a pivotal role towards the growth‚ development and progress of countries as the mass structures like multi-story buildings‚ bridges‚ thermal and nuclear power plants all involving structural engineering results in a strong economy of an advancing country. In some other engineering technologies‚ sometimes it is possible to use hit and trial methods as in geotechnical and hydraulics engineering where the as built conditions are not of such importance to effect the

An aircraft begins to ‘Age’ as soon as it first flies and various effects begin to occur. However‚ the term is usually applied to the issues which can begin to arise as the time-since-new becomes significant. Aircraft design methodologies and approved maintenance schedules take account of the effects of the continued use of aircraft. Non Destructive

Why is it Wrong to say that “What is Good for Society‚ is Good for the Individual” Structural Functionalism focuses on the idea of how Institutions within society are structured‚ and work together in order to eventually form a functional society.
