Life in the Trenches: Lessons Learned in Geotechnical Engineering

by Jay Sunderwala

event3-jan2016

Texas is home to some of the most diverse soil conditions in the world, leading to challenging design considerations for the structural engineer. This presentation will discuss basic soil properties, focusing on the inherent expansive soil conditions most frequently found in the Greater Houston Area. The role of the Geotechnical Engineer in successful project design development will be discussed, incl. foundation design development and construction administration services. The value of geotechnical engineering will be demonstrated via understanding how to read a geotechnical report along with case studies.
