The finite element method is a numerical method that is used to find solution of mathematical and engineering problems. It basically deals with partial differential equations. It is very complex for civil engineers to study various structures by using analytical method,so they prefer finite element methods over the analytical methods. As it is an approximate solution, therefore several limitationsare associated in the applicationsin civil engineering due to misinterpretationof analyst. Hence, the main aim of the paper is to study the finite element method in details along with the benefits and limitations of using this method in analysis of building components like beams, frames, trusses, slabs etc.

In recent three decades, the finite element method (FEM) has rapidly developed as an important numerical method and used widely to solve large-scale scientific and engineering problems. In the fields of structural mechanics such as civil engineering , automobile industry and aerospace industry, the finite element method has successfully solved many engineering practical problems, and it has penetrated almost every field of today's sciences and engineering, such as material science, electricmagnetic fields, fluid dynamics, biology, etc. In this paper, we will overview and summarize the development of the p and h-p version finite element method, and introduce some recent new development and our newest research results of the p and h-p version finite element method with quasi-uniform meshes in three dimensions for elliptic problems.
