In simpler terms:
1. Designing Structures: I create plans for buildings and infrastructure. I choose materials and sizes that can handle different kinds of weight. I use engineering rules and computer programs to make detailed plans.
2. Analyzing Structures: I check the existing buildings for problems. I look for weak spots and issues, doing tests and inspections to see if they're safe. Then, I suggest fixes or improvements based on what I could find.
3. Collaborating with Others : I work closely with architects, civil engineers, and construction teams. I make sure that the structural parts of a project fit well with the rest of the design. I also keep talking with everyone involved to make sure things go smoothly.
