Structural – The term structural system or structural frame in structural engineering refers to load-resisting sub-system of a structure. The structural system transfers loads through interconnected structural components or members. A structural system designed inadequately without factoring in all the various dead and live loads can result in building failure ultimately leading to legal liability, financial loss and possible safety concerns.

The structural system only comprises of the members designed to carry the loads, all other members are referred to as non-structural.
