RE: Japan Tunnel (Lining?) Collapse
We need to be critical of our profession and the choices we collectively make so that we can improve how and what we do. I'm not suggesting that we hang the individuals on any one project, only that we fully vet the underlying ideas and engineering to decide if it is what we want as our standard of care. Too often in many areas of engineering, we look to incremental improvement to solve what we see as the proximate cause of a failure (adhesive selection and installation, for example) rather than backing away and examining the entire system. Maybe that is OK, and maybe it isn't.
