In spite of the best efforts of engineers, contractors, and owners, failures of engineered structures continue to occur. In some cases the failures are dramatic and may even result in loss of life, and in other cases the failure may not be particularly newsworthy. Regardless of the type of failure, they almost all result in expensive litigation, and they all provide information that can be used to improve our professional practice.

Long Island Branch
|
On May 6, 2010, Long Island Branch held its Annual Awards Dinner Dance at the Westbury Manor. The event allows ASCE to recognize 2009-2010 projects, fellow engineers and extend thanks to members and their companies that help to support the Long Island Branch throughout the year. It is also a great way to allow everyone a chance to network with other engineers and cut a rug if the dance bug bites.
