Goals that should be performed in the design of structure:
o The function for which it was created,
o Safety to withstand the influences that will act on it throughout its useful life.
Primary influences act on the structure:
The influences are primarily:
o The loads and other forces to which it will be subjected,
o Other detrimental agents, such as temperature fluctuations and foundation
settlements.
How architect and the engineer work together to select the concept and system:
