What is Structural Integrity?
Structural integrity refers to the ability of a structure to withstand the various forces and loads it encounters throughout its lifespan without compromising its safety or functionality. It encompasses the design, analysis, and maintenance of structures to ensure they can resist collapse, failure, or excessive deformation under expected conditions.
Why is Structural Integrity Important?
Maintaining structural integrity is crucial for several reasons:
