Structural Engineering: Technical Guide
Understanding structural engineering in the South African context requires familiarity with our national standards and building regulations. Our engineers are experts in SANS 10160 (loading codes) and SANS 10100 (concrete design).
What is the role of a structural engineer?
A structural engineer designs the load-bearing elements of buildings and structures—columns, beams, slabs, foundations, and roof structures. We calculate the forces and stresses that a structure must withstand and design members to resist these safely and efficiently.
When do I need structural engineering?
You require structural engineering for:
- New Buildings: Any new construction requires structural design and certification.
- Alterations: Removing walls, adding floors, or changing roof structures.
- Foundation Issues: Cracking, settlement, or foundation failures.
- Industrial Loading: Installing heavy equipment or racking systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a geotechnical investigation?expand_more
A geotechnical investigation involves soil sampling and testing to determine ground conditions. This information is essential for designing appropriate foundations that will safely support the structure.
How do you optimize structural designs?expand_more
We use advanced analysis software to model structures precisely, allowing us to right-size members and minimize material quantities while maintaining full code compliance and safety factors.
Do you provide site inspections?expand_more
Yes, we conduct regular site inspections during construction to verify that structural work is executed according to our designs, including reinforcement placement and concrete quality.
Can you assess existing structures?expand_more
We undertake structural condition assessments, load capacity evaluations, and provide recommendations for remedial work or strengthening of existing buildings.
