Sinossi
Begin a lucrative career as a forensic structural engineer Looking into the causes of structural deficiencies and failures of buildings, bridges, and other constructed facilities, rendering opinions, and testifying in judicial proceedings, has become a field of professional practice all its own. Forensic Structural Engineering Handbook, edited by Robert T. Ratay, tells you how to become proficient in this area, providing you with procedures, lists of what to watch out for, how to deal with clients, and more. In this only comprehensive guide to the subject, well-known experts explain everything you need to know, from design and construction codes, standards and regulations and technical and legal steps, to engineering analysis of structural defects and failures in steel, concrete, timber and masonry structures, stone and precastcladding, foundations and retaining walls, and temporary structures.

Informazioni sull?autore
Robert T. Ratay, Ph.D., P.E., is a highly regarded structural engineer and former university professor with an extensive background in both design and failure analysis. His nearly four decades of professional experience is divided almost equally between structural engineering practice, and combined teaching and consulting. Ratay worked with such prominent firms as Le Messurier Associates, Severud Associates, and HNTB. He was a Professor and Chairman of the Civil Engineering Department, then Dean of the School of Engineering at Pratt Institute, and a Professor at Polytechnic University (formerly Brooklyn Polytech). His current practice in forensic structural engineering is directed toward the investigation of structural and construction failures, providing expert consultant services to architects, engineers, contractors, owners, attorneys, insurance companies, and government agencies. Dr. Ratay is a Fellow of ASCE, has chaired several of its technical committees, and currently serves on the Executive Committee of its Structural Engineering Institute. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of the authoritative Handbook of Temporary Structures in Construction published by McGraw-Hill.
