Abstract:
ASCE’s Forensic Engineering Division (FED) is focused on educating the engineering community on the professional practice of forensic engineering. These practice guidelines are applicable to a broad range of facility assessment, repair and rehabilitation programs. This paper focuses on the FED contributions to assessment and repair of existing structures, including Forensic Congresses and the Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities. The work of the FED has improved quality and public safety in constructed facilities.
