Happy Belated Terzaghi Day! Every October 2, the geotechnical community remembers Karl Terzaghi on his birthday to commemorate his contributions to our profession and to civil engineering in general. This year, the Geo-Institute of ASCE is celebrating in a unique way. They are hosting a live stream event with Sergei Terzaghi, a civil engineer with Arup, as he reflects on his career and how his grandfather’s work has influenced him! The live stream begins at 3 pm EDT today, October 4, 2021.

Comments Off on 2011 ASCE Distinguished Members from Geo-Institute
The American Society of Civil Engineers announced their 2011 class of Distinguished Members back in October. This year’s class included three members of the Geo-Institute: Jacobo Bielak, Chandrakant S. Desai and Shamsher Prakash (pictured below). The ASCE Youtube channel has short biography video on each member, and you can watch the videos for these three gentlemen embedded in the full post. Their acceptance remarks are also online somehwere, but I can’t find the videos to embed. You can watch those videos here. Written biographies are also available on the Geo-Institute’s website.
