Important Legal & Structural Safety Notice
The software, diagnostic engines, formulas, and material calculation tools provided on StructForensic™ are intended strictly for educational, preliminary screening, and diagnostic reference purposes. They do not constitute formal engineering advice, stamped architectural plans, or certified structural calculations.
1. Verification by Licensed Professionals
Structural behavior is influenced by complex boundary conditions, material aging, soil-structure interaction, seismic zones, and loading histories that cannot be fully captured in an automated web form. All recommendations generated by StructForensic™ must be independently verified by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE), Structural Engineer (SE), Chartered Engineer (CEng), or local building authority prior to executing structural repairs, shoring, or demolition.
2. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances shall StructForensic™, its authors, engineers, contributors, or affiliates be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, the information and tools provided on this website. This includes, but is not limited to, structural failures, construction delays, property damage, contractor disputes, personal injury, or financial losses.
3. Building Codes & Material Variance
While we make every effort to align our calculations with the latest published editions of ACI 318, ACI 546R, ASTM standards, and Eurocodes (EN 1992, EN 1504), local municipalities frequently adopt localized amendments, seismic micro-zonings, and historical design requirements. Users are responsible for confirming local jurisdictional compliance.
