Structural analysis is a branch of civil engineering and structural engineering that focuses on the study of structures and their ability to withstand loads and forces. It involves evaluating the effects of various loads (such as gravity, wind, seismic activity, and other environmental factors) on a structure's components, including beams, columns, walls, and foundations. The goal of structural analysis is to ensure that a structure is safe, stable, and capable of performing its intended function without failure.
