Anyone in the geotechnical field knows of Karl Terzaghi, and has probably read his work. But our colleages at Geoengineer.org have done our industry a great service by providing an audio recording of Terzaghi’s last lecture on engineering geology at Harvard University. As a geological engineer, it’s amazing to hear Professor Terzaghi, who everyone associates with soil mechanics, talking about the importance of engineering geology in geotechnical projects. Don’t miss this!
Today, we celebrate Terzaghi Day, honoring the father of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering 140 years after his birth. The Geo-Institute is doing an excellent job of keeping his legacy alive, and this year, they […]
Dr. Carlos Santamarina of Georgia Tech. presented the 2014 Terzaghi Lecture at Geo-Congress 2014 entititled ‘Energy Geotechnology: Enabling New Insights Into Soil Behavior’. From the You-Tube summary: Energy is critical to life, and the coming […]
