Показать описание
Harry Poulos of Coffey Engineering delivered the 40th Terzaghi Lecture at the 2004 ASCE Convention in Baltimore, MD. His lecture was titled "Pile Behavior – Consequences of Geological and Construction Imperfections."

This lectureship was established by the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division (now the Geo-Institute) of the Society by the solicitation of gifts from the many friends and admirers of Karl Terzaghi, Hon.M.ASCE. It was instituted by the Board of Direction on October 10, 1960.

At about yearly intervals and upon recommendation of the Geo-Institute Board of Governors, the Executive Director will invite a distinguished engineer to deliver a "Terzaghi Lecture" at an appropriate meeting of the Society.

Karl Terzaghi founded the branch of civil engineering science known as soil mechanics, the study of the properties of soil under stresses and under the action of flowing water.

Are there recorded Terzaghi lectures pre-2004?
