This monograph provides a comprehensive summary of lessons learned from both failures and sub-failures ('near misses' or 'close calls') in geotechnical and foundation engineering and related structural engineering, what the author refers to collectively as geo-structures and geo-structural systems. This presentation is based on the author's more than 50 years of professional experience as a civil engineer specializing in geotechnical and foundation engineering. This monograph also contains the author's observations on the professional practice\/business aspects of forensic engineering as applied to geo-structures. This monograph is intended to be a resource document for both experienced and entry-level civil engineers who want to learn more about the professional practice of forensic engineering as applied to geo-structures which is distinctly different from other practice areas of civil engineering such as design, construction, and academia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 458\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.24 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53147311341875,"sku":"9781732095335","price":146.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Whzprv1amy9781732095335.webp?v=1773878373","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/why-and-why-now-answering-the-fundamental-questions-of-failure-forensics-for-geo-structural-systems-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
