GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Structural design is a systematic and iterative process that involves:
1) Identification of intended use and occupancy of a structure – by owner
2) Development of architectural plans and layout – by architect
3) Identification of structural framework – by engineer
4) Estimation of structural loads depending on use and occupancy
5) Analysis of the structure to determine member and connection design forces
6) Design of structural members and connections
7) Verification of design
8) Fabrication & Erection – by steel fabricator and contractor
9) Inspection and Approval – by state building official
Ideally, the owner and the architect, the architect and the engineer, and the engineer and the
fabricator/contractor will collaborate and interact on a regular basis to conceive, develop, design,
and build the structure in an efficient manner. The primary responsibilities of all these players
are as follows:
• Owner - primary responsibility is deciding the use and occupancy, and approving the
architectural plans of the building.
• Architect - primary responsibility is ensuring that the architectural plan of the building
interior is appropriate for the intended use and the overall building is aesthetically pleasing.
• Engineer – primary responsibility is ensuring the safety and serviceability of the structure,
i.e., designing the building to carry the loads safely and ___________.
• Fabricator – primary responsibility is ensuring that the designed members and connections
are fabricated economically in the shop or field as required.

• Contractor/Erector - primary responsibility is ensuring that the members and connections are
economically assembled in the field to build the structure.
• State Building Official – primary responsibility is ensuring that the built structure satisfies
the appropriate building codes accepted by the Govt.GENERAL INTRODUCTION
