- The ground will never react to the construction of engineering works
Why might the concept that the structure is an extension of the ground be lost by a particular team member?
Why might the concept that the structure is an extension of the ground be lost by a particular team member?
- Because it is not relevant in engineering projects
- Because the work may be divided between various types of engineers, architects, and planners (correct)
- Because it is too complex to understand
- Because the team members are not well-trained
