Dr. Gennaro G. Marino, P.E., D.GE will be presenting “Geoforensics for Engineers” at the ISPE Boot Camp in Springfield, IL. Exact dates and times for this presentation will be released soon! This presentation will provide an overview of what constitutes a geoforensics investigation. In addition to providing a basic to detailed definition of geoforensics, the presentation will summarize components of a forensic investigation and the varied causation components to the failure or problem. Each component will be discussed in detail with salient examples of actual case histories the presenter has investigated.Although case histories discussed are geotechnical in nature, the principles are directly applicable to civil engineering problems. In performing geoforensic investigations, the standard of what “a reasonable degree of engineering certainty” means will be discussed. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of lessons learned based on the presenter’s experience.
