Forensic Engineering, Second Edition - Tapa dura

Forensic Engineering, first published in 1989, comprehensively summarizes forensic activity and failure investigation in engineering, providing illustrative case studies and investigative techniques. Contributors are the foremost authorities in such fields as fire investigation, industrial accidents, product liability, traffic accidents, civil engineering, transportation disasters, and environmental systems failures - demonstrating the diverse spectrum of forensic experience.
The book outlines the nuts-and-bolts aspects of forensic engineering as well as examines specific details for improving investigative procedures and analytical techniques. Forensic Engineering also describes methods in litigation and alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration, mediation, mini-trials, and more.
Richly illustrated with case studies from various fields, each chapter includes guidelines, techniques, methods, and tools for accident investigation and analysis. The text includes vital information on using forensic photogrammetry, planning and writing reports, serving as an expert witness in traditional litigation, and resolving disputes.
Providing proven formulas and thought-provoking concepts, Forensic Engineering enables forensic experts in all engineering fields, design and construction professionals, attorneys, product manufacturers, insurance professionals, and engineering and law students to maximize their investigative skills and litigation abilities.
