The goal of StructuralWiki is to organize information useful for professional structural and civil engineers. As this profession relies heavily on miscellaneous references and one learns the most by direct experience or from discussions with others, wiki platform provides ideal platform to share and exchange experince and knowledge. StructuralWiki is organized into several parts, each serving different purpose, as described below in the section Content.


This project was started by [[User:ok|ok]], who initially identified the wiki as a great platform for keeping an organized list of references for his design work as a structural engineer.

Welcome to StructuralWiki,
open knowledgebase for structural engineers
that anyone can edit.

Overview | Searching | Editing



Goals and Mission

The main goal of StructuralWiki is to develop comprehensive open knowledgebase for civil, structural & bridge engineers, and archictects. Based on wiki plafform, StructuralWiki is perfectly suited to promote and simplify the exchange of knowledge and experience between professionals.

Content

Glossary - glossary of civil engineering words (current focus, read more here)

Handbook - main topics organized as a handbook for quick reference (to be started)

Design Resources - sample calculations, drawings, details (to be started)

Visual Guide - photograps of miscellaneous structural elements (to be started)

Stories - articles about designs and projects (to be started)

Research - articles on latest research (to be started)


Contribute

If you found StructuralWiki usefull, you can help to make it more usefull for others! There are many ways to contribute to StructuralWiki:

  • Have you recently published or presented an article? Share the main points on StructuralWiki and include reference to the full article.
  • Use StructuralWiki to keep you professional bookmarks organized.
  • Have you read an interesting article? Write its summary in your own words on StructuralWiki.
  • You can add new words into the Glossary which is especially good way to get acquired with civil engineering terminology - read more here.
