Failure Case Studies in the Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Curriculum: A New Textbook Abstract
Over the past three years research has evaluated the impact of including failure case studies in specific civil engineering and engineering mechanics courses. Failure case studies developed under two NSF-funded projects have resulted in a book published by the American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE) Press, Beyond Failure: Forensic Case Studies for Civil Engineers. This paper presents a discussion of the organization and the presentation of the individual cases, as well as some suggestions for use of the work in the curriculum and elsewhere.
Introduction
Over the past three years research has evaluated the impact of including failure case studies in specific civil engineering and engineering mechanics courses1, 2, 3, 4. Failure case studies developed under two NSF-funded projects have resulted in a book published by the American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE) Press, Beyond Failure: Forensic Case Studies for Civil Engineers5. The book cover is shown in figure 1. This book breaks down failure case studies into chapters arranged by engineering courses and topics.
