Avoiding modelling errors: validation and verification

This article offers tools and knowledge for early-career engineers to confidently navigate the potential pitfalls of computer-aided structural design.

This article is to designed to help structural engineers follow the paradigm shift in seismic engineering from the definition of prescriptive procedures to procedures based on achieving predictable performance levels.

Iain MacLeod discusses the use of computers in structural engineering and what more can be done to reduce risk in structural design.
