The goal of StructuralWiki is to organize information useful for professional structural and civil engineers. As this profession relies heavily on miscellaneous references and one learns the most by direct experience or from discussions with others, wiki platform provides ideal platform to share and exchange experince and knowledge. StructuralWiki is organized into several parts, each serving different purpose, as described below in the section Content.
 
  
This project was started by [[User:ok|ok]], who initially identified the wiki as a great platform for keeping an organized list of references for his design work as a structural engineer.

StructuralWiki currently contains '''[[Special:Allpages | {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles]]''' in '''[[Special:Categories | 11 categories]]'''.
