Development of an Internet Failure Information Disseminator for Professors
Publication: Forensic Engineering (2000)
Abstract
Since 1989, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Technical Council of Civil Engineering (TCFE) has conducted 2 surveys to gauge the need for teaching failure analysis topics in the civil engineering curriculum. Although the surveys addressed different topics, the limited availability of instructional materials is a recurring theme. The purpose of this paper is to respond to each of the questionnaires by reporting on the ongoing development of a preliminary Internet site whereby consultants can contribute failure case studies. These case studies will then be readily available for professors and instructors to use in stand alone failure analysis courses. The case studies can also be used as supplemental material and can be integrated into existing general civil engineering curriculum courses as well.
