New York Hilton & Towers
New York, NY
This Symposium will offer critical information for
•Emergency Managers
• Planners
• Architects
• Engineers
• Scientists
Every year, structures and other engineered facilities suffer damage and performance problems because of natural and man-made disasters that include unanticipated loading conditions, poor design, lack of maintenance, and poor construction practices.
TCFE's mission is to apply engineering principles to investigate failures and performance problems of engineered facilities, and develop practices and procedures to reduce the number of future failures. TCFE uses the Forensic Engineering Symposium to disseminate information on failures and practices to mitigate failures, and provide a forum to discuss ethical practice within the field of forensic engineering.
Previous forensic engineering events were held in San Diego (2003), San Juan (2000), and Minneapolis (1997). In San Diego, 48 papers along with plenaries and panel discussions were presented, and some 250 delegates attended from all over the world. It is anticipated that this Forensic Engineering Symposium – conducted within the framework of STRUCTURES CONGRESS 2005 – will be similar in scope and likewise attract international participants.
