engineering/structural
you've probably considered these, but these would probably be my best suggestions
Note from asker:

construction technology/construction science
You can just about shoe-horn these two into direct translations of the context sentences, but as Norskpro says, it would be better to rewrite them using the concepts as nouns not adjectives.
Example sentence:
