Stokoe Selected as Asce Karl Terzaghi Lecturer For 2011

Kenneth H. Stokoe, Professor in geotechnical engineering, was selected by the ASCE as the Karl Terzaghi Lecturer for 2011. The lecture recognizes an individual for their exemplary contributions to the field of soils and geomaterials and is the highest honor that a geotechnical engineer may receive.

Established in 1960, the Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Division of the ASCE (now known as the Geotechnical Engineering Division), created this lecture series to honor Karl Terzaghi, the father of the profession, by annually recognizing the contributions of a peer in the field of geotechnology.

Stokoe gave the Terzaghi Lecture at Geo-Frontiers in Dallas on March 15, 2011.
