This research is focused on the constant pavement failure in parts of the Enugu-Onitsha expressway. The failed portions are constructed on the natural subgrade known to be the Shale of Enugu and Mamu ...
Did you know the U.S. National Earthquake Information Center logs the measurements of 20,000 earthquakes around the globe each year—approximately 55 a day? A concern that most people might not ...
This study introduces a probabilistic framework for assessing active earth pressures in soils exhibiting spatial variability in friction angles and unit weight. These properties are modeled using ...
The Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering (COGGE), established in 2001, is the focal point within the Board on Earth Sciences and Resources for scientific, technical, and public-policy ...
A discussion about the importance of instrumentation in geotechnical engineering would be incomplete without referring to Professor R. Peck’s landmark paper titled “Advantages and Limitations of the ...
What inspired you to pursue a PhD? Many people have died as a consequence of catastrophic geotechnical failures (e.g., earthquake induced slope failure, rain cut erosion, and mud flood) in many ...
Landslides and slope failures resulting from disasters cause millions of dollars in damage to infrastructure each year. Following a disaster, funding for repair and restoration of infrastructure, ...
