Computer models are valuable for both structural design and forensic analysis, but the modeling approach varies depending on the context. Nonlinear models, when used correctly, provide powerful tools for forensic investigation. This paper reviews case studies of modeling in forensic investigations and addresses the associated issues.
Computer models are useful for both structural design and forensic analysis. In the process of design, loads and materials must be assumed. In contrast, when investigating a failure, it is possible to know the materials and structural configuration as well as the loads applied at the time of failure. The necessary modelling is thus very different from the design process. Nonlinear models provide a powerful tool for forensic investigation, provided that they are used correctly. Many examples have been published in the American Society of Civil Engineers Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities (ASCE JPCF) or presented at the eight ASCE Forensics Congresses, held approximately every three years since 1997. This overview paper will review case studies of modelling applied to forensic investigations, and also examine some of the issues associated with the use of such models.
