Structural analysis is a science that ensures that the structures are safe and fulfill the functions for which they were built. Safety requirements must be met so that a structure is able to serve its purpose with the minimum costs. Structural concepts arise from the work of engineers from different fields with a common aim that the structure is functional, aesthetic, and economic. Detailed planning of the structure usually comes from several studies made by town planners, investors, users, architects, and other engineers. In general, an architect is responsible to the investor and a structural engineer works in collaboration with the architect as an equal partner in a project. In some structures, such as industrial halls, bridges, and sports halls, a structural engineer has the main influence on the overall structural design and an architect is involved in aesthetic details. The process of analysis has to be repeated until the structure as a whole is optimal from all points of view, followed by final analysis and dimensioning. Citations are important for a journal to get an impact factor. Impact
factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent
articles published in the journal. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the
journals with high impact
factor are considered more important than those with lower ones. To increase the visibility and ease of use of
open access scientific and scholarly
journals OMICS Group top online publishing
journals are
indexed in different indexing and archiving services.
