CHECKING MODELS IN STRUCTURAL DESIGN

The paper describes survey data and mathematical models for three design-checking processes. The processes appropriate to design checking are self-checking, independent detailed design checking and overview checking. The self-checking data were based on the reassessment of undergraduate engineering student examination responses, while data for independent detailed design checking and overview checking were obtained from specially conducted surveys among practicing professional engineers. It was found that relatively simple models may be developed for components of these design-checking processes.
