Checking of structural safety - Experiences with large-scale structures

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Safeguarding the structural integrity and hence preventing the people from undue hazards is an elementary task of a society. The peculiarities of structural engineering make it impossible to hark back to quality management systems well known from industrial production processes. The prototype- design typical for civil engineering structures requires different as well as enhanced strategies. By discussing three large scale projects, the German approach to this task will be explained. Emphasis is laid especially on the technical and economic independence of the reviewing process.
