"Structural Engineering" means that branch of professional engineering that provides analysis, design, evaluation or review of structures or their elements, parts or systems for support of external forces such as gravity, lateral loading, temperature, seismic influence, etc.

(1) Structural engineering services for significant structures, as referred to in ORS 672.002 to 672.325, shall mean structural engineering for the primary structural frame or load resisting system and its elements or parts. The primary frame shall be that portion of the structure, which provides the overall stability of the structure. Elements, components, or parts of the structure, which are not part of the primary frame do not require the services of a professional structural engineer.
