Forensic Structural Engineering in education

IABSE Congress Reports, 2016
Forensic Structural Engineering is the professional practice of determining the cause(s) of a structural failure, often with the aim to lay out a technical basis to identify the responsible parties for a failure. Although Forensic Structural Engineering is given as course at several universities in USA and UK, at many institutions it is no common ...

Knowledge Model for Forensics in Civil Engineering

IABSE Reports, 2018
<p>Failure analysis in civil engineering mostly remains a field for experts. Since experts can derive valuable information from any failure case, a key challenge is that of producing new knowledge from a set of cases. Another challenge is to draw similarities between different failure cases, in order to draw general lessons.

Forensic Engineering: A Case Study

Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention, 2019
Abstract In 1975, a manufacturer was awarded a contract to produce modular air-traffic control towers for the U.S. Navy. The specifications called for painted steel siding, but the manufacturer convinced the Navy to substitute aluminum-bonded-to-plywood panels that were provided by a supplier.

FORENSIC ENGINEERING FOR UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION

Rock Mechanics in Underground Construction, 2006
In the context of underground construction, forensic engineering is taken to be the application of engineering principles and methodologies to determine the cause of a performance deficiency, often a collapse, in an excavation, and the reporting of the findings, usually in the form of an expert opinion within the legal system.

An Overview of Forensic Structural Engineering

Structural Engineering International, 2017
AbstractForensic structural engineering has, in some countries, become and, in some others, is evolving into a designated field of professional practice of determining the causes of structural failures and identifying the parties responsible. The practice involves engineering investigations, rendering opinions and, if required, giving expert testimony ...
