1 Causes of illogical decisions

One of the main causes of illogical decisions in structural engineering is the lack of sufficient information or data. Without enough evidence, you may rely on assumptions, intuition, or personal preferences that are not supported by facts or logic. Another cause is the influence of cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias, anchoring bias, or availability bias, that affect how you interpret and process information. These biases can make you ignore, distort, or overestimate certain aspects of your problem, leading to erroneous conclusions or solutions. A third cause is the pressure of time, budget, or client expectations, that may force you to make hasty or compromised decisions without adequate analysis or evaluation.

If my structural engineering decisions lack logical reasoning, I reassess the problem, gather more information, consult with colleagues or experts, and consider alternative approaches to ensure a well-founded decision.
