30 Oct 2017: A hard learned lesson of WWII was too quickly lost immediately after WWII when Western Engineering educators forgot and failed to teach this war-time mantra; always design fully connected structures

31 Aug 2001: Is this because thetechnology is wrong? Are the economics wrong? Are engineers too conservative? ... There will thus need to be research before economic designrules can be introduced.

11 Jul 2007: 3 A WATERSHED EVENT. What lessons have we learned from the collapse of the Twin Towers from a structural engineering perspective? ... But there are useful lessons to be learned: there is qualitative as well as quantitative knowledge to be gained.

10 Sep 2003: We allknow that engineers should have a knowledgeof economics, but Phillips made an enormouscontribution and showed that economists couldlearn much from engineering!

8 Apr 2011: This directly affects the economics of the application, and because of uncertainty about the long-term properties can lead to very high factors of safety being applied. ... Doubt about the extrapolation method can have a very real economic effect and can
