Failure Vignettes for Teachers
Publication: Forensic Engineering (2000)
Abstract
The dissemination of construction failure information is of use to the designers and constructors of facilities. This information will minimize the likelihood of future failures of a similar nature. The forensic engineer is a prime source of this information derived from investigations of actual construction failures. The Committee for the Dissemination of Failure Information of the ASCE Technical Council on Forensic Engineering has been developing seminar formats for such dissemination to architects, engineers and contractors. This paper discusses these procedures for use by teachers and presents two typical case histories for use by them.
