Prepared by the Committee on Forensic Investigations of the Forensic Engineering Division of ASC EInvestigation of Constructed Facilities: Sampling Methodologies provides an in-depth discussion of the relevance and reliability of sampling methods used in the investigation of constructed facilities. For investigations, the sampling of as-built conditions often becomes a basis on which a forensic engineer draws conclusions about the causes, prevalence, and severity of defects in the facility. The diagnostic nature of forensic engineering lends itself to a wide range of sampling strategies and may include random sampling, directed sampling, or both. This book covers Sampling techniques for defect investigations;Applicability of both random and directed sampling approaches; Forensic engineering influence on sampling methodology; and Approaches, considerations, and a framework that engineers may use in developing sampling protocols for evaluating constructed facilities.This book will be of value to structural and civil engineers, as well as those involved with evaluating constructed facilities, particularly in the context of construction defect claims.
