AIRPORT

What is an Airport?
An airport is a location where aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and blimps take off and land. Aircraft may be stored or maintained at an airport. An airport consists of at least one surface such as a runway for a plane to take off and land, a helipad, or water for takeoffs and landings, and often includes buildings such as control towers, hangars and terminal buildings.
Larger airports may have fixed base operator services, seaplane docks and ramps, air traffic control, passenger facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency services. A military airport is known as an airbase or air station. The terms aerodrome, airdrome, airfield, and airstrip may also be used to refer to airports, and the terms heliport, seaplane base, and STOLport refer to airports dedicated exclusively to helicopters, seaplanes, or short take-off and landing aircraft.

Structural Analysis

Structural Analysis is the branch which involves in the determination of behaviour of structures such as Buildings, Bridges, Dams, Towers, Offshore Platforms, Retaining Walls,
Truss Foundations and Stadiums. The concepts of Statics provide basis for solutions to the structures. Computer software are also being used for the calculation of forces, bending moment, stress, strain and deformation or deflection for complex structural systems. Sophisticated
are also used for investigating the structural response under different types of loading. Basic concepts of are essential before structural analysis. Structural analysis provides the basis for structural design. A structure can be statically determinate or Statically determinate structure. A structure is termed as statically determinate if all of its unknown forces can be determined by using only the equations of static equilibrium.
