Structural system — The term structural system or frame in structural engineering refers to load resisting sub system of a structure. Structural system transfers loads through interconnected structural components or members.ee also*Body on frame *Shear wall *Double… … Wikipedia
Diaphragm (structural system) — In structural engineering, a diaphragm is a structural system used to transfer lateral loads to shear walls or frames primarily through in plane shear stress. These lateral loads are usually wind and earthquake loads, but other lateral loads such … Wikipedia
Structural engineering — is a field of engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads. Structural engineering is usually considered a speciality within civil engineering, but it can also be studied in its own right. [cite… … Wikipedia
Structural dynamics — is a subset of structural analysis which covers the behaviour of structures subjected to dynamic loading. Dynamic loads include people, wind, waves, traffic, earthquakes, and blasts. Any structure can be subject to dynamic loading. Dynamic… … Wikipedia
Structural engineer — Structural engineers analyze, design, plan, and research structural components and structural systems. Their work takes account mainly of technical, economic and environmental concerns, but they may also consider aesthetic and social… … Wikipedia
Structural Building Components — are specialized structural building products designed, engineered and manufactured under controlled conditions for a specific application. They are incorporated into the overall building structural system by a Building Designer. Examples are wood … Wikipedia

Structural anthropology — is based on Claude Levi Strauss s idea that people think about the world in terms of binary opposites such as high and low, inside and outside, person and animal, life and death and that every culture can be understood in terms of these opposites … Wikipedia
Structural analysis — comprises the set of physical laws and mathematics required to study and predict the behavior of structures. The subjects of structural analysis are engineering artifacts whose integrity is judged largely based upon their ability to withstand… … Wikipedia
Structural information theory — (SIT) is a theory about human perception and, in particular, about perceptual organization, that is, about the way the human visual system organizes a raw visual stimulus into objects and object parts. SIT was initiated, in the 1960s, by Emanuel… … Wikipedia
