Review:
The base of the wall failed by slipping soon after it was built. Engineer A had done no
foundation investigation, according to the investigation that followed. He ought to have
bored a couple of hand-drill openings and arranged the dirt to decide bearing
obstruction, compressibility, and different components. He didn't look for slipping and
didn't have any provisions in the plan to evade it. He did not consult any existing codes
and instead merely copied the pattern from an old textbook. Furthermore, the textbook
diagram only depicted structural aspects, not foundation specifics, as described in the
textbook. A successful case was filed on behalf of the client. Engineer A was also
reprimanded.
Comments:
Education and experience combine to create competence. Engineer A was competent
in his developed sector, but not in the area for which his client was paying, and while he
made a token effort to learn about the subject, his expertise was only superficial. Before
accepting a project, an engineer or geoscientist does not need to be an expert in any
phase; however, a professional must be familiar enough with the subject to realise that
he or she can become competent through study or analysis in a reasonable amount of
time, or that a colleague or consultant can be employed at a reasonable cost without
delaying the project. The crucial point is that the experts are missing.
