When does OM design work start?Before wall constructionAfter wall construction
Starting design assumptionsMost probable parametersCharacteristic parametersNecessary, from back-analysis of initial stages
Back-analysis requirementsNecessary, with reliable case study dataPreferredUse initial construction stages
