Abstract
There has never been a greater need for buildings, tunnels and other infrastructure to be assessed for damage following fires. Even after a severe fire, structures are often capable of being repaired rather than demolished. This paper describes the role of forensic engineers in the investigation of fire-damaged structures constructed in concrete, steel and masonry. Forensic-engineering procedures described include on-site inspection and testing techniques, laboratory testing and structural fire analysis. The design and implementation of repairs is also discussed.
