Abstract

This dissertation focuses on studying the impact of Human and Organizational Factors (HOFs) on structural safety within the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. It is widely acknowledged that human errors are the primary cause of the majority of structural failures. In addition, HOFs are pivotal task contexts that shape human performance at work and contribute to the occurrence of human errors. Therefore, this research aims to study the critical HOFs in the structural design and construction process and analyze their influence on structural safety from a sociotechnical systems perspective.
