 | | Forensic engineering is the investigation of failures and accidents to determine their cause or causes. |
 | | The practice of forensic engineering consists of careful observations of failures and accidents, determination of the engineering principles involved in the failure or accident, and evaluation of the conditions, actions, and mechanisms that caused the failure or accident. |
 | | In the civil engineering field, forensic engineers evaluate construction accidents, construction defects, vehicle accidents, structural and geotechnical failures, waterproofing and roofing failures, and flooding. |
