Structural systems refer to the arrangement of structural elements within a building or structure that supports and distributes loads. These systems are engineered to ensure that a building can withstand the forces it encounters throughout its lifespan, including gravity, wind, seismic, and other environmental factors. Structural systems are a fundamental aspect of the overall building design and are essential for ensuring the stability and safety of the structure. The choice of structural system depends on various factors, including the building's intended use, the location, and the budget, among others. Engineers and architects work together to select the most suitable structural system for a specific project to ensure its functionality.
