Structural engineers say those projects demand extensive analysis to ensure existing structures can safely support new weight and altered load paths. When something is overlooked in the design, engineering or construction process, the consequences can be severe. “There’s a lot of structural analysis that has to go on. If that goes on carefully, everything should work out the way the engineers planned it,” said real estate attorney and structural engineering expert Barry LePatner. “If they fail []This article originally appeared on The Real Deal.
