[[Structural engineering]] depends upon a detailed knowledge of [[Structural load|loads]], [[physics]] and [[materials]] to understand and predict how structures support and resist self-weight and imposed loads. To apply the knowledge successfully a structural engineer will need a detailed knowledge of [[mathematics]] and of relevant empirical and theoretical [[design codes]]. He will also need to know about the [[corrosion]] resistance of the materials and structures, especially when those structures are exposed to the external environment.
