ASCE Awards High Honors to OSU Geotechnical Engineer

Prof. Patrick FoxColumbus, April 30, 2008 – A professor of the geotechnical engineering program at The Ohio State University has received a prestigious best paper award from the Geo-Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Prof. Patrick Fox, a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Geodetic Science, will receive the 2008 Thomas A. Middlebrooks Award for his published papers entitled "Coupled Large Strain Consolidation and Solute Transport. I: Model Development" and Coupled Large Strain Consolidation and Solute Transport. II: Model Verification and Simulation Results." These two papers were published in the Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, January 2007 issue. The Middlebrooks award is made to the author(s) of a paper published by ASCE during a 12-month period that is judged worthy of special commendation for its merit as a contribution to the field of geotechnical engineering. ASCE presents only one Middlebrooks Award annually.

T. H. Wu receives Peck Award from ASCE

THwuWe are extremely pleased to announce that Professor T.H. Wu is the 2008 recipient of the Ralph B. Peck Award from the ASCE Geo-Institute. The Ralph B. Peck Award is presented for "outstanding contributions to the geotechnical engineering professional through the publication of a thoughtful, carefully researched case history or histories, or the publication of recommended practices or design methodologies based on the evaluation of case histories." The award is named after Dr. Ralph B. Peck, formerly of the University of Illinois, who has served as the foremost leader in geotechnical engineering over the past 50 years. Professor Wu was one of Dr. Peck's early Ph.D. students at UIUC. T.H. Wu made a presentation of his work - Case History of an Embankment on Soft Ground - at the 2008 GeoCongress that was held in New Orleans during March, 2007.

 

Historic Bridge Conference - Preliminary Program

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Geodetic Science and the College Engineering will host the 8th Historic Bridges Conference in Columbus, Ohio, on April 28-29, 2008. The conference will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between engineers and preservationists. A preliminary program is now available, including registration materials. Pre-registration is highly encouraged by April 15th, as space is limited!
