Symposium on Forensic Engineering
The objective of the symposium is to provide an overview of the forensic (civil) engineering science, to review the latest investigation techniques adopted in this sector, and to discuss the non-engineering aspects of structural and geotechnical failures. A number of internationally renowned speakers representing the spectrum of disciplines typically involved in the forensic engineering business will be sharing their knowledge with the symposium attendees. The speakers will have a chance to discuss some of the notable case studies they had a chance to investigate. In addition to practicing engineers and university professors, lawyers and insurance specialists will share with the audience the legal and financial aspects of engineering failures. The symposium will include seven 30-minutes presentations, followed by a moderated question and answer period with the panel.
