Geo-Congress 2023: Karl Terzaghi Lecture: Paul Mayne

The 2023 Karl Terzaghi Lecture will be delivered by Paul Mayne of the Georgia Institute of Technology at Geo-Congress 2023 in Los Angeles, CA on March 28, 2023.

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.
