RE: Structural failures due to applied point loads // cases in dwellings
Would you say the engineers are to be blamed for structural failures or the workers
Would you say the engineers are to be blamed for structural failures or the workers
In these cases neither of the two can be blamed, since one calculates the loads and the other executes the work... it is the occupants or owners of the structure who must comply with the load recommendations provided by the engineer or, failing that, explain to the estimator everything that the house will contain, thus avoiding a problem in the future for both parties.
