Robson Forensic structural engineer, Mark Duckett, P.E., S.I., was a guest on an episode of The Structural Engineering Podcast:
We discuss the role of expert witnesses, what the legal system means by "standard of care," and how forensic engineers use the scientific method to investigate failures, defects, and construction disputes. Mark explains the difference between simply disagreeing with a design approach and identifying a true breach of professional responsibility, while sharing insights into how root causes are uncovered in complex structural cases.
