Research Abstract |
The purpose of decision making for the level of structural performance of a building is to determine the risk of failure in terms of human life and property. Building owners generally have to take the responsibility for the building performance as the buyer ; they share this responsibility with professional engineers. However, in general, private building owners have poor experience and knowledge of risks or decision making for the level of structural performance. Structural engineers essentially need to initiate communication with owners about risk-related matters during the structural design procedure. For establishing an effective risk communication process based on trust, professionals should understand the current requirement of owners and users and then support owners in decision making and improve owner skill. This research challenges to establish risk communication method with home owners during design stage using dialogue tool gauged from citizen questionnaires and interviews to structural designers.
