Structure of Ethics for Engineers
Modern engineering have been giving the benefit to the mankind as F. Bacon predicted the effect of science. It has done damages to the mankind for their mind, the right of labor, and their circumstance at the same time. The benefit and the damage to the society have become larger and larger since the the beginning of 20th century as seen in the field ...

Art and Structural Engineering-Art of Structural Engineering
Beyond the classical dispute between architects and engineers, it is a matter of fact that art and engineering are not only compatible, but also for some cases indissociable. This communication aims to contribute to the debate. In the first part the experience of artists is exemplified in terms of influence on structural engineering : Pevsner and ...
