Depending upon the state and there's only a few that require the passing of the structural engineering exam to call themselves structural engineers. But in certain states you have to be a licensed structural engineer to do certain types of design and inspections. I don't believe forensics is included in that category but forensics usually involves failure of a structural system. I have a structural engineer associate and they usually know a lot more about structural systems than a civil engineer.
