Uality Assurance Of Structural Design Checking Process In Computerized Environment (modeling Docqumentation Presentation Verification And Validation)

Researches based on past experience indicate that a considerable number of structural failures arernmainly associated with human error in the design stage of structural engineering projects, andrnmany of these problems could have been at least minimized if there had been adequate designrnchecking. Contacts have been made with the chief engineers in Addis Ababa CityrnAdministration, Ministry of Urban Development and Construction, and design offices of selectedrnsub cities. From them copies of structural calculation documents are collected. Results arernreported herein from those data investigating and evaluating two major issues in the typicalrndesign-checking processes- (i) scientific/engineering content and (ii) consistency of the checkingrnprocedure. Following a review of current work in this area, appropriate checklist, whichrnexamines the effects different parameters, is prepared for a typical design checking process.rnDiscussion on computerized environment in relation to structural engineering is carried outrnaddressing points related to software limitations, verification and validation. Although arnbeginning work in this area, I believe the results will serve as a base for practicing professionalsrnas well as for further study
