A structure refers to a body or system of connected parts used to support a load. Important
examples related to Civil Engineering include buildings, bridges, and towers; and in other
branches of engineering, ship and aircraft frames, tanks, pressure vessels, mechanical systems,
and electrical supporting structures are important. In order to design a structure, one must serve a
specified function for public use, the engineer must account for its safety, aesthetics, and
serviceability, while taking into consideration economic and environmental constraints. Other
branches of engineering work on a wide variety of non-building structures.
