Structural Design for Non‑Structural Engineers

Structural design is a fundamental aspect of engineering projects, ensuring that buildings and infrastructure are safe, stable, and capable of withstanding loads and environmental conditions. For non-structural engineers, understanding the basics of structural behavior and design principles is essential for effective coordination, decision-making, and project success.

This program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides a practical and accessible approach to structural design, equipping participants with essential knowledge to interpret structural systems, collaborate with specialists, and contribute effectively to engineering projects.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand fundamental concepts of structural engineering
• Identify different structural systems and components
• Recognize types of loads and their effects on structures
• Interpret basic structural drawings and specifications
• Understand material behavior (concrete, steel, etc.)
• Apply simplified design concepts and checks
• Coordinate effectively with structural engineers
• Identify potential structural risks and considerations

This program is designed for:

• Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil Engineers (non-structural roles)
• Project Managers and Site Engineers
• Architects and Design Professionals
• Construction Supervisors
• Facility and Infrastructure Professionals
• Anyone involved in engineering projects requiring structural awareness
