International Forensic Engineering Congresses and Conferences

摘要

The schedule for significant international forensic engineering activities has been very busy the last 6 months, with three major congresses and conferences occurring in three countries. Reports summarizing two of these events are included here: The 6th ASCE Forensic Engineering Congress, held in San Francisco October 31 to November 3, 2012 (report by Anthony M. Dolhon) and the IF CRASC'12 Congress, held in Pisa, Italy, November 15-17, 2012 (report by Norbert J. Delatte). By publication of this issue, a third major conference will be underway. The 5th ICE Forensic Engineering Conference: Informing the Future with Lessons from the Past, sponsored by the Institution of Civil Engineers, is scheduled to take place in London April 16-17, 2013. I will prepare a report on the London conference for publication in a future Editor's Note.
