Decks

Decks are elevated platforms, often attached to residential or commercial buildings, designed for outdoor use and occupant gathering. Structural engineering for decks involves analyzing load capacity, material performance, and connection details to provide safe, durable, and code-compliant construction. Special consideration is given to lateral stability, weather exposure, and long-term maintenance.
