| Abstract: |
The majority of structural engineers believe what the codes tell them and become code jockeys. When this extends to senior levels (as it must without serious early intervention) the dangers are serious. The author's sees good evidence that frozen thinking blights many parts of the industry. It is driven by an environment in which growth and profit dominates and large companies often deliver the minimum accepted by the client. The paper presents some examples of frozen thinking in different areas of work, with an emphasis on UK experience but with worldwide examples. |
