{{Main|Structural material}}
Structural engineering depends on the knowledge of materials and their properties, in order to understand how different materials support and resist loads. It also involves a knowledge of [[Corrosion engineering]] to avoid for example galvanic coupling of dissimilar materials.
Common structural materials are:
