President’s Message: 2008 CDR Users Conference:
Allow me to pose a hypothetical construct. You were driving your car at night on the way home after a long day. Traffic was light in the 30mph zone and you waited in the left turn lane for the light to change. You saw a break in the traffic and accelerated. Suddenly you were broadsided by an oncoming car. The police find you at fault for an unsafe turn. Your only defense is that you thought you had time and the other guy must have been speeding. The other driver, a teenager driving his dad’s new Impala, admits he was in a hurry to get home, but says he wasn’t speeding when you pulled out in front of him. An accident reconstruction puts his speed between 28 and 33 mph at impact. Are you out of luck? The answer may lie in the CDR.

Case of the Month: Building Cracks
The case of the month concerns a commercial two-story building with cracks in some of the exterior walls. We were called in to identify the structural damage, and to determine what was due to recent events, long-term conditions, construction defects or deficient maintenance. This turned out to be a complex case with a lot at stake. As the case developed, we assembled a team that included a structural engineer, a geotechnical engineer, and a PhD hydrogeologist to answer the question of “What really happened?” |
