Structural engineering depends on the knowledge of materials and their properties, in order to understand how different materials resist and support loads

of the structural performance of different materials and geometries. Structural engineering design uses a number of relatively simple structural concepts

Structural integrity and failure is an aspect of engineering that deals with the ability of a structure to support a designed structural load (weight,

consists of a mixture of nuclear fuel, fission products, control rods, structural materials from the affected parts of the reactor, products of their chemical

naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacturing of building materials is an established

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field of researching and discovering materials. Materials engineering is an engineering field of finding uses

Structural steel is steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam

A structural insulated panel, or structural insulating panel, (SIP), is a form of sandwich panel used as a building material in the construction industry

A structural load or structural action is a mechanical load (more generally a force) applied to structural elements. A load causes stress, deformation

heat-resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing an inorganic, nonmetallic material, such as clay, at a high temperature
