<p>This course provides an understanding of the forensic engineering process that applies to the investigation and assessment of failures (collapse and serviceability) and existing structures. It aims to provide participants with the necessary practical knowledge and skills to organize, undertake, or participate in a systematic forensic investigation. It is also appropriate for professionals with design experience and has international applicability. Familiarity with basic structural engineering design and detailing regarding concrete, structural steel, timber, and masonry is expected. It will be assumed that all students enrolled will have these skills as they will be needed but not be taught within Civil 774. Business practices including the application of the standard of care, performing a self-assessment of capabilities, assembling a team, and identifying situations regarding professional ethics will also be discussed. As this is a Level 9 course, over 30% of the grade being assessed will be via independent work (e.g. individual projects, reports, investigations, etc.). This work must demonstrate an application of highly-specialised knowledge. </p>
