Proceedings of the Eighth Congress on Forensic Engineering, held in Austin, Texas, November 29-December 2, 2018. Sponsored by the Forensic Engineering Division of ASCE.

This collection contains 111 peer-reviewed papers on a wide array of forensic topics in the built environment, with some taking new approaches to historic failure events and others exploring new frontiers in forensic evaluation and analysis methods.

Topics include: building envelopes; investigation methodologies; structural repair and remediation; vibration; performance of concrete and other materials; blast and extreme loading; hurricanes and earthquakes; failures during construction; and forensic engineering education and professional practice.

This proceedings will be of interest to forensic engineering practitioners, project and construction managers, architects, researchers, and designers to advance their understanding of performance failures and state-of-the-art investigative tools and procedures.
