I stumbled across a nice interview of Dan Brown, a recognized deep foundation expert and founder of Dan Brown and Associates, in a back issue of Pile Buck magazine. He discussed some of the large […]
The FHWA is partnering with a virtual who’s-who of geotechnical engineers and contractors specializing in drilled shafts and grouting to perform a research project on post-grouting (aka base-grouting or tip-grouting) of drilled shafts. More details […]
I’ve still got a few minutes left in my time zone anyway. But October 2 is Karl Terzaghi’s birthday. And my colleague Robert Thompson at Dan Brown and Associates has written a nice blog post […]
The winter 2011 issue of the Deep Foundations Institute magazine profiles DBA founder Dan Brown, a very prominent figure in the geotechnical industry and one of the most well known experts in deep foundations. The […]
In an August 2010 article in ADSC’s Foundation Drilling Magazine, Eric Loehr and Dan Brown of Dan Brown and Associates summarized the key findings from a report they authored on the use of micropiles in […]
My colleague at DBA, Robert has posted some new photos for this interesting project involving micropiles supported piers, rock bearing footings at the abutments augmented with rock anchors, and rock bolted slopes. Scroll down for […]
That’s my lame attempt at trying to coin a new geotechnical engineering catch phrase for “Karl Terzaghi’s Birthday.” Plus it tweeted better on Friday! Saturday, October 2 was the actual day. Every year my colleague […]
My colleage Robert Thompson at Dan Brown and Associates has posted about the World Record O-Cell test they were involved in on the new Mississippi River Bridge for I-70 in St. Louis, Missouri. The new […]
A legend in the Drilled Shaft Industry, Dr. Lymon C. Reese has passed away at age 92. Dr. Reese is perhaps best know in the industry as the co-author, along with the late Dr. Michael […]
Another nice post from Robert Thompson with Dan Brown and Associates (DBA) about the geotechnical work on the kcICON project. They are the geotechnical designers for a $245 million project that will involve a new cable-stayed bridge over the Missouri River in downtown Kansas City along the I-29/35 corridor. In his post, Robert gives an update on the status of the work including the borings and recent test shaft installation and testing as well as an update on the overall project.
