Forensic engineers often specialize in a particular area such as
structures, fires, or accident reconstruction. However, the nature
of the work often requires broad knowledge in the interrelated
areas of physics, chemistry, biomechanics, and engineering.
Covering cases as varied as assessment of workplace accidents to
the investigation of Halliburton in the BP oil spill, Forensic
Engineering Fundamentals is a comprehensive introduction to the
many diverse facets of the field that forensic engineers must be
familiar with in their practice. Topics include The role of the
forensic engineer Structures, structural distress, and the
importance of standards and codes The failure of appliances-the
cause of many water- or fire-related losses Slips, trips, and falls
of pedestrians and the accessibility of walking surfaces Industrial
incidents involving loss of equipment, injury and loss of life, as
well as OSHA and MSHA regulations Standard accident reconstruction
involving vehicles Electrical incidents and lightning and the
effect of electrical energy on the human body Analysis of fires
with an emphasis on thermodynamics, testing, and simulation Carbon
monoxide incidents and common fire suppression and warning systems,
as well as the various NFPA codes Probability and uncertainty, with
some basic calculations available to the forensic engineer
Applicable standards and protocols that have developed over the
years to protect life and property Offering readers real-world
experience drawn from the authors' 25 years of experience, this
volume assists newcomers to the field in understanding the
engineering basics underlying the cases they will encounter in
their practice. It also serves as a reliable reference for those
confronted with issues outside their area of expertise.
