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!
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 […]
A new book that may be of interest to folks. See the Geoengineer.org link for more info. A personal account of the role played by Rudolph Glossop, one of the founders of geotechnical engineering in […]
Karl von Terzaghi, the father of Soil Mechanics would have been 126 years old today! Two years ago, a colleague sent me an email wishing me a Happy Karl Terzaghi’s Birthday. So I decided for […]
