Reducing the risks of failures
While mounting costs bring pressure on designers to innovate, the potential risks associated with new technologies are often too big to accept. A strategy in which research may help to solve this dilemma is outlined here by a Structural Engineering Group leader in the Structure and Materials Division of the US Center for Building Technology. His approach was outlined at a national conference held in Washington, DC last year on the factors inhibiting greater building productivity.
