Structural engineers are also responsible for ensuring that a structure meets all applicable building codes and safety standards.  They work closely with architects, construction managers, and other professionals to ensure that a project is designed and constructed to meet the needs of its intended use, while also being safe and cost effective.

In addition to designing new structures, structural engineers also assess the safety and stability of existing structures, such as bridges or buildings that may have been damaged by natural disasters or other events.  They may also work on retrofitting projects to improve the safety and performance of older structures.  Structural engineering is a critical field in the construction industry, helping to ensure that the structures we use and rely on every day are safe and stable.
