What is Forensic Structural Engineering?
Forensic structural engineering is a branch of engineering that involves investigating and analyzing the causes of structural failures, damage, and defects. This type of engineering is often used in legal and insurance cases to determine liability and assess damages. Forensic structural engineering can also be used to identify potential safety hazards, evaluate the condition of existing structures, and develop effective repair and maintenance plans.
When structures fail or are in the process of failing, a forensic structural inspection is employed to determine the causation of the failure and to help prevent further future failure if possible. These inspections can also apply to the root cause determination of cosmetic distress.
