Note
A builder's plural made from an adjective that became a noun. Structural, used alone, stands for structural steel, and only that construction sense can take an -s. The adjective meanings, relating to structure or to the mechanics of building, have no plural. Once counted, the word names the individual load-bearing members of a frame, the separate beams and pieces, rather than the steel as a material.
