Speakers
Leonidas (Leo) Emmenegger, Ph.D.
Civil and Structural Engineering Associate at ExponentDr. Emmenegger specializes in analyzing and predicting the deterioration of civil infrastructure such as bridges, buildings, and airports from the perspective of concrete material science, corrosion engineering, and civil engineering. Since joining Exponent as a forensics consultant, He has been involved in numerous matters including construction defect litigation, structural failure analysis, extreme event claims, codes and standards compliance research, and personal injury disputes. Dr. Emmenegger’s experience in construction and engineering litigation support typically includes site visits to collect critical data, review and distillation of pertinent documentation, engineering and scientific analysis, and dissemination of findings through technical reports and presentations. Some notable cases he has worked on include a concrete failure and construction defect dispute at an environmental facility, the failure of a metal building under extreme weather conditions, and litigation arising from contested curing practices and quality assurance testing per FAA regulations at an airport. In addition, he also has experience with building envelope investigations (water intrusion, façade anchorage, etc.), structural foundation movement from expansive soils, and construction repair cost disputes. Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Emmenegger was a graduate research assistant at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), where he earned his Ph.D. with a construction infrastructure systems engineering specialization. He is a member of American Concrete Institute (ACI) technical committees on concrete nondestructive testing and durability.
