* '''Structural Engineering''' — A sub-discipline of civil engineering focused on the "bones" of a structure.
* '''Load''' — A force acting on a structure (e.g., gravity, wind, snow).
* '''Dead Load''' — The permanent weight of the building itself (walls, floors, roof).
* '''Live Load''' — The temporary weight of people, furniture, and equipment.
* '''Tension''' — A pulling force that tends to stretch a material.
* '''Compression''' — A pushing force that tends to squash a material.
* '''Shear''' — A force that causes layers of a material to slide across each other.
* '''Torsion''' — A twisting force.
* '''Stress''' — The internal force per unit area within a material ($\sigma = F/A$).
* '''Strain''' — The deformation or "stretch" of a material in response to stress.
* '''Factor of Safety''' — Designing a structure to be several times stronger than the maximum expected load.
* '''Truss''' — A framework (usually triangles) used to support a roof or bridge.
* '''Cantilever''' — A long projecting beam or girder fixed at only one end.
* '''Moment''' — A measure of the tendency of a force to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis.
