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 proto- type-design typical for civil engineering structures requires different as well as enhanced strate- gies. 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.
