Berbagai peristiwa yang "tidak diinginkan" seperti: kecelakaan, kerusakan, degradasi kekuatan, dan keruntuhan dapat terjadi pada masa : pelaksanaan, atau pengoperasian suatu infrastruktur, yang dapat menimbulkan: kerugian-kerugian materi, korban jiwa, terganggunya stabilitas ekonomi, sosial, dan politik.

Pada kondisi ini berbagai fihak seperti: a) lembaga pengadilan, b) kepolisian,

c) pemerintah-daerah setempat yang terkait dengan perijinan bangunan, d) asuransi, e) pemilik bangunan, dan tidak ketinggalan f) konsultan perencana/pengawas serta g) kontraktor pada saat pembangunannya,

akan dapat dilibatkan untuk menetapkan

siapa yang "bersalah", seberapa besar "ganti-rugi" yang harus dibayarkan kepada fihak yang dirugikan.

Situasi yang demikian sangat memerlukan peran Forensic Engineering untuk membantu mengungkapkan permasalahan yang sebenarnya secara proporsional, yang secara umum akan meliputi aspek-aspek: Investigasi

Evaluasi Kesaksian ahli di depan pengadilan

ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) resmi membentuk Committee on Forensic Engineering pada tahun 1982, Saat ini telah berganti nama menjadi Technical Council of Forensic Engineering (TCFE). Konferensi Nasional pertama digelar oleh ASCE di Seattle, Washington, pada tanggal 7 April 1986,

dengan tema: “ Forensic Engineering: Learning from Failures "

Jurnal ilmiah Forensic Engineering JPCF telah

diterbitkan rutin 3 bulanan sejak Februari 1987 dan mendapatkan respon yang sangat baik dari berbagai kalangan profesi: Engineering, lawyer, architects, government, insurance executives, dan owners. Konferensi berikutnya digelar oleh TCFE-ASCE pada tanggal 5~8 Oktober 1997 di Minneapolis,

Minnesota,

Sejak itu beberapa Universitas di USA telah mulai mengajarkan mata kuliah

Forensic Engineering dalam kurikulum akademisnya. Bagaimana dengan di Indonesia ?

Historic Example 1847

•

•

One of the earliest in the modern period being the fall of the Dee bridge at Chester, England. It was built using cast iron girders, each of which was made of three very large castings dovetailed together. Each girder was strengthened by wrought iron bars along the length. It was finished in September 1846, and opened for local traffic after approval by the first Railway Inspector, General Charles Pasley. However, on 24 May 1847, a local train to Ruabon fell through the bridge. The accident resulted in five deaths (three passengers, the train guard, and the locomotive fireman) and nine serious injuries. The bridge had been designed by Robert Stephenson, and he was accused of negligence by a local inquest. Although strong in compression, cast iron was known to be brittle in tension or bending, yet, on the day of the accident, the bridge deck was covered with track ballast to prevent the oak beams supporting the track from catching fire. Stephenson took this precaution because of a recent fire on the Great Western Railway at Uxbridge, London, where Isambard Kingdom Brunel's bridge caught fire and collapsed. This act imposed a heavy extra load on the girders supporting the bridge, and probably exacerbated the accident.

Historic Example 1847

•

One of theOne of the first major inquiries conducted by the newly formed Railway Inspectorate was conducted by Captain Simmons of the Royal Engineers, and his report suggested that repeated flexing of the girder weakened it substantially. He examined the broken parts of the main girder, and confirmed that the girder had broken in two places, the first break occurring at the center. He tested the remaining girders by driving a locomotive across them, and found that they deflected by several inches under the moving load. He concluded that the design was flawed, and that the wrought iron trusses fixed to the girders did not reinforce the girders at all, which was a conclusion also reached by the jury at the inquest. Stephenson's design had depended on the wrought iron trusses to strengthen the final structures, but they were anchored on the cast iron girders themselves, and so deformed with any load on the bridge. Others (especially Stephenson) argued that the train had derailed and hit the girder, the impact force causing it to fracture. However, eye witnesses maintained that the girder broke first and the fact that the locomotive remained on the track showed otherwise.

Forensic Engineering

Forensic Engineer • The forensic engineer applies the art and science of engineering to the purpose of the law. Most requests for services involve civil suits. However, the forensic engineer may also assist in the prosecution or defense of criminal or regulatory matters.

• Typical subjects include: failure analysis, accident reconstruction, causes and origins of fires or explosions, design review, quality evaluation of construction or manufacturing, maintenance procedures, and environment definition.

Jurisprudence • Attorneys for the prosecution and the defense, as well as the judge, are lawyers. They are the main players in the drama of the courtroom. The lawyer who uses expert testimony in criminal and civil cases must be knowledgeable of the law that governs the admissibility of forensic evidence, and qualified to apply this law to present and challenge forensic evidence in depositions and court proceedings. The judge must understand all the issues and make sure of the legality of the entire process.

PENGERTIAN FORENSIC Menurut Webster dictionary, secara umum forensic

diartikan sebagai “.. that which is presented in a public forum”. Secara khusus, ketika seorang professional engineer

memberikan kesaksian sebagai saksi ahli (expert witness) di depan pengadilan atas suatu masalah engineering yang menyangkut kepentingan masyarakat dan terkait erat dengan keahliannya maka engineer tersebut sedang bertugas sebagai forensic engineer.

Pada kesempatan itu forensic engineer tersebut

haruslah dapat menjelaskan permasalahan secara obyektif, logis, faktual, netral, tidak bias dan menggunakan bahasa yang mudah dimengerti orang awam tentang cara melakukan investigasi untuk mendapatkan temuan-temuan, teknik evaluasi dan analisis, hasil evaluasi/ analisis, kesimpulan, pendapat dan rekomendasi.

GAMBARAN UMUM FORENSIC ENGINEERING Ruang lingkup yang ditangani forensic engineering, sangat luas dan berikut ini disajikan beberapa hal yang terkait: The most prominent elements are: • investigation, • evaluation and • service as an expert witness Involving :

• court – insurance – owner – contractor – consultant – police – public – government

Guidelines for forensic engineers

• Avoid conflict of interest • Only take assignments you are competent to perform • Consider the opinions of others before you render

your own • Get all the information, don’t rely on assumptions • Establish the standard of care for the appropriate time and place

• Respect the confidentiality of your client • Be dispassionate and objective at all times • Terminate the assignment if you are not allowed

to conduct the full inquiry • Terminate the assignment if the fee is being used to bias your opinion

Lingkup kasus yang ditangani sangat luas, sejak tinjauan

aspek investigasi, evaluasi, dan menjadi saksi-ahli, sampai tinjauan aspek penyebab accident/failure/collapse yang dapat terjadi pada masa perancangan, masa konstruksi, maupun masa operasi sesuai fungsinya yang mencakup rentang waktu sangat panjang (selama masa layan rencana struktur, yang lazimnya diambil lebih dari 50 tahun). Obyek yang ditangani forensic engineering selalu terkait

dengan infrastruktur yang sudah jadi (existing infrastructures) atau yang sedang dalam masa konstruksi.

Tidak seperti civil engineer pada umumnya, dimana

perencanaan (planning), perancangan (design) dan analisis struktur-baru berikut metode konstruksi dan manajemen proyek merupakan bekal utama yang harus dikuasainya, pada forensic engineering selain bekal yang telah disebut sebelumnya juga dituntut untuk menguasai: a) penggunaan berbagai instrumentasi dan peralatan tes distruktif maupun non-distruktif, b) teknik-teknik evaluasi kinerja existing structures di lapangan,

c) metode analisis-ulang existing structures dengan data saat itu (berupa material properties yang sudah mengalami degradasi karena berbagai sebab), d) metode perawatan, e) metode repair/strengthening existing structures beserta repair materials yang digunakan, dan

f)

pengetahuan yang cukup tentang berbagai peristiwa penyebab keruntuhan struktur di masa lalu dan pengalaman dalam menangani kasus sejenis.

Dalam lingkup yang lebih sederhana (tidak terkait dengan pengadilan), seorang forensic engineer juga mampu menangani permasalahan yang muncul dalam masa pengelolaan, pengoperasian, dan perawatan existing infrastructures, maupun masalah evaluasi teknis untuk menilai kelayakan-pakai suatu infrastruktur selama masa layannya dan metode perbaikan/ perkuatan (repair/strengthening) bila perlu.

MANUAL OF FORENSIC ENGINEERING PRACTICE - A SYNOPSIS The practice of Forensic Engineering involves the investigation of performance difficulties of buildings and structures in the broad field of civil engineering. Investigation of failures usually involves an interface with the legal system, most often in the form of expert testimony. The overall purpose of the Manual is to

commit to writing the current state of forensic engineering practice. As such, this document will not be a standard or code but will address the acceptable behavior of civil engineers engaged in the analysis of failures.

The manual is organized into general areas of interest. They are Qualifications, Investigations,

Ethics, Business and Legal. The chapter on Qualifications basically addreses the minimum education and experience requirements for forensic engineers.

 The term expert will be dicussed as defined both by the Courts and by the profession. Various aspects of federal and state law will be cited as they apply to the engineers offering expert testimony.  Disqualification will also be discussed.  The chapter on Ethics in the primary focus of the Manus.

• Defining ethical behavior of the forensic engineer is the goal of the effort. • The ASCE’s Code of Ethics is applied to the forensic engineer • Both the conflict of interest and the

appearance of such are defined and discussed in detail

 Sanctioning processes by the regilatory

bodies and the ASCE are presented.  The Legal Forum chapter gives a brief overview of the court system as it applies to the construction industry.

The Association of Consulting Forensic Engineers •

• •

•

•

•

The Association of Consulting Forensic Engineers (then Association of Litigation Engineers) was founded in December 1982 by a group of seven Consulting Engineers who practiced as Expert Witnesses in Ireland. The Memorandum of Association defines the role of a Consulting Forensic Engineer as a person who undertakes evidential engineering investigations. Members of the Association are Chartered Engineers (or equivalent status) who practise as Consulting Engineers either individually or as Partner in a Practice of Consulting Engineers. The Association of Consulting Forensic Engineers (ACFE) is a company limited by guarantee. It is registered in Dublin No 93152 There are currently about 50 Members throughout the island of Ireland who practise in a wide range of areas. The common thread is that they prepare Expert Engineering Reports and give Expert Engineering Evidence to the Courts and similar tribunals. Most members work in Personal Injury litigation. Some work in the Criminal Courts and some are Professional Arbitrators. Some members specialise in narrow areas whilst others cover a wide range of work. The Association of Consulting Forensic Engineers fulfils an educational role in that it organises an annual seminar on a topical subject or area of Practice. Some of these seminars are restricted to members whilst others are open and are attended by Practitioners in Law, Insurance and related disciplines. In 2006 the Association introduced the 2006 ACFE Bursary Scheme as part of the commitment of its members to promoting the profession of Engineering to school leavers from less advantaged backgrounds. This is an exciting and unique development in the National STEPS Programme to encourage school leavers to study engineering and science of which the ACFE is justifiably proud.

SEMINARS / SHORT COURSES •

Sudden Damage vs. Maintenance Issues in Buildings

•

•

Sudden Damage vs. Maintenance Issues in Buildings helps students distinguish between distress caused by "sudden" movements of a structure (settlement, strong wind, earthquakes, etc.) vs. normal material deterioration or shrinkage. This course specifically discusses hurricane/tornado sudden damage. Case studies illustrate field inspections and ultimate classification of distress. This course addresses residential and light commercial structures. CE Credit: 4 Hours

•

Wind vs. Wave Damage Assessment

•

•

Wind vs. Wave Damage Assessment course expands on our "Sudden Damage" and "Wind Effects" courses, but focuses on hurricanes. We discuss the hurricane formation, types of hurricane-caused damage, and how to differentiate between damage caused by hurricane-induced waves and wind. We use recent case studies like Hurricane Katrina to illustrate inspection techniques and challenges. This is an invaluable educational tool for those working in hurricane affected areas, or seeking to prepare for next hurricane season. CE Credit: 3 Hours

Homogeneity of the concrete • Measurement of pulse velocities at points on a regular grid on the surface of a concrete structure provides a reliable method of assessing the homogeneity of the concrete. • It is useful to plot a diagram of pulse velocity contours from the results obtained since this gives a clear picture of the extent of variations. • It should be appreciated that the path length can influence the extent of the variations recorded because the pulse velocity measurements correspond to the average quality of the concrete along the line of the pulse path and the size of concrete sample tested at each measurement is directly related to the path length.

Concrete Testing Transducer Arrangement

The diagrams show three alternative arrangements for the transducers when testing concrete. Whenever possible, the direct transmission arrangement should be used. This will give maximum sensitivity and provide a well defined path length. It is, however, sometimes required to examine the concrete by using diagonal paths and semi-direct arrangements are suitable for these.

Compressive Strength

Modulus of Rupture (MOR)

Pulse Velocity (km/sec)

Detection of defects (cracks) • When an ultrasonic pulse travelling through concrete meets a concrete-air interface, there is a negligible transmission of energy across this interface so that any air-filled crack or void lying directly between the transducers will obstruct the direct beam of ultrasound when the void has a projected area larger than the area of the transducer faces. • The first pulse to arrive at the receiving transducer will have been diffracted around the periphery of the defect and the transit time will be longer than in similar concrete with no defect. • It is sometimes possible to make use of this effect far locating flaws, etc. but it should be appreciated that small defects often have little or no effect on transmission times.

Estimating the depth of surface cracks

If the first value of x chosen is X1 and the second value X2 and the transit times corresponding to these are T1 and T2 respectively, then

Crack Depth = X1√(4T12 – T 22)/(T22-T12) The equation given above is derived by assuming that the plane of the crack is perpendicular to the concrete surface and that the concrete in the vicinity of the crack is of reasonably uniform quality.

Crack depth (h) = (L/2)(T2/T1-T1/T2)

Detection of large voids or cavities • A large cavity may be detected by measuring the transit times of pulses passing between the transducers when they are placed in suitable positions so that the cavity lies in the direct path between them. • The size and position of such cavities may be estimated by assuming that the pulses pass along the shortest path between the transducers and around the cavity. • Such estimates are more reliable if the cavity has a well defined boundary surrounded by uniformly dense concrete. • If the projected area of the cavity is smaller than the diameter of the transducer the cavity cannot be detected.

Monitoring hardening process Accurately determine when formwork could be removed In prestressed concrete, when prestressing operation can proceed

This facility is particularly useful for following the hardening process during the first two days after casting and it is sometimes possible to take measu-rements through formwork before it is removed at very early ages. This has a useful application for determining when formwork can be removed or when prestressing operations can proceed.
