The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Toward Explainable Engineering Decisions: Pursuing a Descriptive Decision Theory at the Intersection of Analysis, Judgment, and Conviction

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineers design the technical systems that define and sustain our society. The decision‐making scenarios they face require both quantitative analyses and the consideration of qualitative factors, which are shaped by deeply held beliefs, values, and societal contexts. However, existing engineering decision‐making models, primarily derived from
