That requirement is up to local jurisdiction and if they don't have their own rules for it, it's generally left up to the state's building department. Most jurisdictions require a PE(professional engineer) to stamp structural drawings/calcs. Some may allow Architect for certain buildings.
The depth of structural design and MEP design the ARE covers is generally more geared toward being able to communicate with consultants and understand the concepts so you can coordinate all that with the overall design and also understand what is going on during construction administration.
in many of the jurisdictions I'm working in, they want a sealed packet of calcs and special inspections requirements outlining how we're going to police the GC/CM to confirm things are structurally built correctly. It's just a checklist really, but it's got to be a structural PE stamp.
Can architect design structure/ specification/ and calculation without structural engineer?
Just curious about ARE I saw there are a lot of formula for structure/ MEP.
Does licensed architect allow to do structure design or MEP? And what kind of project they allow to do?
Does it regulated by States or local jurisdiction?
Thank you,

It depends

Each State's A/E licensing regulations are different and AHJs can often add their own requirements beyond the State licensing regulations.
