Source Evidence
Source Text
Engineer A is involved in the design of the structural system on a building project in an area of the country that experiences severe weather conditions
Text References
Engineer A completes his design which is later incorporated in the plans and specifications for the building
Engineer A is involved in the design of the structural system on a building project in an area of the country that experiences severe weather conditions
Engineer A, who has experience with structural designs in this area of the country, designs the structural system based upon what Engineer A believes constitutes sound structural engineering principles
While Engineer A generally attempts to stay current on changing structural design trends, Engineer A was not familiar with this recent technical literature
had Engineer A followed the severe weather design parameters, the structural failure would not have occurred
