A large prropotion of structural failures are due to human error at the design stage of a structural engineering project, and many of these failures could have been prevented if there had been proper design checking. Analyses of the data from the 6 engineering firms and 24 professional engineer practitioners are shown on diagrams, also applicated for suggested models; overview checking. And then analyzed results of current work in this area, which examine the effects of error magnitude, are compared to the limit data obtained from the surveys. Overview checking only is analyzed of three typical design checking processes; self checking; Independent detailed checking, and overview checking.
