“…From the above example, it is possible to envisage routine administrative usage but for collaborative working there are many more subtle applications. For example, if a design change is made to a given component which is stored on an extranet, then the extranet could automatically identify all the other components which are affected by the change [15]. On its own this is not too useful but when linked to versioning and configuration management (Fig.…”

The construction industry, of which structural engineering is an important component, is distinguished by its organisational fragmentation and the complexity of the artefacts that it designs and builds. The fragmentation enforces a need for collaboration between the many separate organisations that are involved in a given scheme and this creates a need for meetings which are both expensive and disruptive. The complexity adds to the difficulties caused by the complexity. In addition to face to face meetings, there are more subtle forms of collaborative working such as shared files and decision spaces. This paper looks at how collaborative working can be supported using Information Technology (IT) based tools. The current leading edge technologies and forthcoming developments are discussed.

“…These support many of the above features plus obviously CAD and analysis programs. However, as these systems are not [15] Request to delete a TV Grid enabled, CAD usage is usually restricted to single user access with the results being distributed. An early example of such a system is the work of Fruchter [17].…”
