Such lessons are important for preventing future failures, but they also provide a critical feedback loop to the structural design process. After all, regardless of the many tools utilised in modern design, such as advanced analysis techniques, design still proceeds with due respect to the process of trial and error: successful designs are replicated and developed further, while the less favoura… Show more
