Technical assessment is | Technical assessment is the use of analysis modelling and performance criteria to seek to ensure that the structure will satisfy the technical requirements set out in the Design Brief - Stage 2. The main structural engineering standards used in the UK are the Eurocodes [[https://www.bsigroup.com/en-GB/our-services/standards-subscription-services/Eurocodes-Plus/what-are-eurocodes/ [1], [[:en:Eurocodes|2]] ]. A main requirement of technical assessment is to ensure that the strucutre will be stable i.e. that it will not be close to collapse. | ||
'''Analysis modelling''' | |||
Analysis modelling (i.e. structural analysis) is the use of mathematical models to predict structural behaviour. | |||
Analysis modelling (i.e. structural analysis) is the use of mathematical models to predict structural behaviour. | |||
There is significant risk that errors in the modelling will cause the structure to be unsafe and therefore a fit for purpose <u>analysis modelling process</u> must be used. | |||
