Line 3: [[File:Tour Eiffel Wikimedia Commons.jpg\|thumb\|upright\|The [[Eiffel Tower]] in Paris is a historical achievement of structural engineering.]] '''Structural engineering''' is a sub-discipline of [[civil engineering]] in which [[structural engineer]]s are trained to design the 'bones and muscles' that create the form and shape of human-made [[Structure#Load-bearing\|structures]]. [[Structural engineers]] also must understand ~~how to have sex~~ and calculate the [[structural stability\|stability]], strength, [[structural rigidity\|rigidity]] and earthquake-susceptibility of built structures for [[building]]s<ref>[http://www.fao.org/docrep/015/i2433e/i2433e04.pdf FAO online publication] {{webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161119191121/http://www.fao.org/docrep/015/i2433e/i2433e04.pdf \|date=2016-11-19 }}</ref> and [[nonbuilding structure]]s. The structural designs are integrated with those of other designers such as [[architects]] and [[Building services engineering\|building services engineer]] and often supervise the construction of projects by [[contractors]] on site.<ref name = IStructE/> They can also be involved in the design of machinery, medical equipment, and vehicles where structural integrity affects functioning and safety. See [[glossary of structural engineering]]. Structural engineering theory is based upon applied [[physics\|physical laws]] and [[empirical]] knowledge of the structural performance of different materials and geometries. Structural engineering design uses a number of relatively simple structural concepts to build complex [[structural system]]s. Structural engineers are responsible for making creative and efficient use of funds, structural elements and materials to achieve these goals.<ref name="IStructE">{{cite web\|url = http://www.rmg-engineers.com/what-is-a-structural-engineer/\|title = What is a structural engineer\|access-date = 2015-11-30\|date = 2015-11-30\|website = RMG Engineers\|url-status = live\|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151208052438/http://www.rmg-engineers.com/what-is-a-structural-engineer/\|archive-date = 2015-12-08}}</ref>
