Can Hooke’s Law help with our climate emergency? The short answer YES!

I have been concerned for many years with the poor appraisal/understanding of behaviour of existing buildings, even completely perverse, wrong analysis2 and diagnosis3, which has led to huge quantities of steel and concrete being used unecessarily4. I have been pointing these mistakes out since at least 19875 (analysis) and 19916, both a failure to apply Hooke’s Law.
