ASCE March Technical Presentation:
“Lessons From Failures For Structural Engineers"
This seminar highlights the possible consequences of an inadequate structural design. The seminar uses landmark cases that resulted in a dramatic failure, and that were caused partially or wholly by an error or omission by the structural engineer of record. The consequences of the failure are presented, the failure itself is described, and the technical causes are discussed. For each case, the course attempts to place the audience members “in the shoes” of the engineer.
