We all are witnesses of rapid economic development, increased design sophistication. We see a lot more and advanced construction technology. These technologies come with a certain risk that is a proliferation of structural failures. And, when it comes to structural failures, it requires a proper engineering investigation to find out the causes of the same. Forensic structural engineering is all about that. This service refers to engineering investigation, and finding of the reasons of structural failures of buildings, bridges, and other constructed facilities. It involves rendering opinions and giving testimony in judicial proceedings (if and when required). Not all structural failures are appalling. Sometimes, a building structure that includes certain facilities or part of facilities that do not perform as intended by the one who is in charge (be it the owner, designer, professional, or a constructor; whosoever has the right to take the decision), requires an engineer to perform forensic services too.
Let us understand what are the duties of an expert offering structural forensic engineering. They are responsible to provide direction, coordination, planning, and completion of engineering investigations and projects. They take the responsibility to communicate with clients to understand project requirements. An expert forensic engineer is assigned to plan and formulate engineering investigations and programs. And, then organizing the entire project-staff is too an expert’s duty. There are different types of buildings structured with different materials based on various building codes. So, here an expert forensic engineer is required to perform the analysis for all types of projects. Understanding and tracking financial information to the project is also a part of their responsibilities.
