Civil structures and buildings: method

20,000 leads. A mirror of an earlier study in a new direction: the method is unchanged (40 domains × 25 axes × 20 artefacts), the subject is new. None tested except the results page.

4. How this differs from its original

The original study asked the same questions of a different field. What transfers is the failure structure; what does not transfer is which artefact is common. That difference is the content.
