Poor engineering decisions can have disastrous results. How are engineering decisions made? And, most importantly, just what constitutes a sound decision?

If the technical bases of building code provisions for seismic design loads are not thoroughly understood, the use of the code will not necessarily result in a sound structural design. Some level of ductility must be provided

Floating breakwaters represent a viable alternative for wave protection. The selection of the type of floating breakwater, and its design, depend heavily on site conditions and ultimate application.

This project proved the feasibility of a sea-level canal without locks that is subject to out-of-phase tidal cycles at its ends, and fostered coastal trade.
