What Are Structural Calculations?
Structural calculations are the engineering analysis verifying that a project's structural design — foundations, beams, columns, and connections — can safely carry the expected loads, including dead loads, live loads, and wind or seismic forces where relevant. Every Dubai authority requires a structural calculation report to accompany structural drawings in a building permit submission.
