Application for 7Th Lizzi Scholarship 13Th International Society for Micropiles Vancouver, Bc, Canada March 29-April 1, 2017 APPLICATION FOR 7TH LIZZI SCHOLARSHIP 13TH INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR MICROPILES VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA MARCH 29-APRIL 1, 2017 The International Society for Micropiles (ISM) invites applications for the 7th Lizzi Scholarship from graduate students studying in the field of micropiles. Applicants must reside in British Columbia or Washington State, be enrolled in graduate studies, and be either proposing to conduct or currently conducting research on micropiles. The scholarship award will consist of financial reimbursement of travel and accommodations expenses for attendance at the 13th International Workshop on Micropiles in Vancouver, BC, Canada from March 29-April 1, 2017, waiver of registration fees for the workshop, and a selection of micropile publications. Application and Award Requirements Please submit your application using the attached form to Nick Salisbury, Crux Subsurface, Inc., Host Sponsor and Organizing Committee Chair at [email protected]. The scholarship recipient will be selected by the ISM organizing committee. The scholarship recipient will be required to make a brief presentation outlining his/her proposed or current micropile research at the 2017 workshop. About Dr. Fernando Lizzi Fernando Lizzi was born in 1914 in Castelnuovo di Porto, Italy near Rome. At age 18, he entered the artillery military academy in Torino and became an officer in the Italian Army. At the end of his academy training in 1936, he was posted to Tripoli, Libya, where he fought and was injured in 1942 in the battle of Djrababub. He was then captured by the British army and eventually sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in an area now near the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. During his time as a prisoner of war, Lizzi studied civil engineering. When he returned to Italy in 1946 and was discharged from the Army, he completed the requirement for the Italian degree of engineering (Laurea) in four months. He graduated summa cum laude and soon joined FONDEDILE, where he remained as Technical Director for nearly 50 years. During this time, when Italy specifically, and Europe generally, were being reconstructed, the first "pali radice" (root piles, micropiles) were used for "Scuola Angiulli" in Naples. The technique was later applied in hundreds of works by FONDEDILE in various countries. Pali radice have been used extensively for the restoration of monuments, notably Ponte Vecchio in Firenze in 1966, and many restored and rehabilitated structures benefited from the artistic and engineering skill of Dr. Lizzi. Some of the works are described in Dr. Lizzi’s two books: The Static Restoration of Monuments, Sagep Publishers, Genova (1982) (available in Italian and English, republished and available in English through www.adsc-iafd.com) and Il consolidamento del Terreno e dei Fabbricati Dario Flaccovio Editore (1989) (in Italian). The 4th International Workshop on Micropiles held in Venice (May 2002) honored the 50th anniversary of the development of micropile technology. This conference was dedicated to the Vision of Fernando Lizzi, given that so many current practitioners and researchers continue to be inspired by his concepts. APPLICATION FOR 7TH LIZZI SCHOLARSHIP 13TH INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR MICROPILES VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA MARCH 29-APRIL 1, 2017 Dr. Lizzi retired from FONDEDILE in the 1980s but remained active in consulting and related activities nearly until the time of his death, on August 28, 2003 in Naples. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Italia Fauche', and his sons, Fedele and Fulvia. About the International Society on Micropiles (ISM) The International Workshop on Micropiles (IWM) group developed from its early days as an 8- member international review panel assembled in 1994 for the 4-volume FHWA-funded “State of Practice Review on Drilled and Grouted Micropiles” [prepared by Dr. Donald Bruce (Geosystems, L.P.) and Prof. Ilan Juran (Polytechnic University)]. Dr. Lizzi was an active, contributing member of this initial review panel. ISM was established in 2005 to further the work of the IWM as a professional organization. IWM and ISM have hosted a total of 12 workshops [Seattle, WA (1997); Ube, Japan (1999); Turku, Finland (2000); Venice, Italy (2002); Seattle, WA (2003); Tokyo, Japan (2004); Schrobenhausen, Germany (2006); Toronto, ON, Canada (2007); London, England (2009), Washington, DC (2010), Milan, Italy (2012), and Krakow, Poland (2014)], and one business meeting in Lille, France (2001). The ISM delegation comprises micropile contractors, designers, researchers, suppliers, manufacturers, and owners, who contribute to intense workshops on all aspects of micropile design, construction, testing, and research. The group has grown to a delegation of up to 100 active members from over 25 member countries committed to the advancement of micropile technology and use throughout the world. In 2011, ISM formed a strategic alliance with ADSC: The International Association of Foundation Drilling, and DFI (Deep Foundations Institute). This alliance was pursued by ISM leadership to leverage extensive technical, administrative, and networking resources with these two influential industry organizations. Through this united front, all three organizations have better positioned themselves to address the global needs related to the micropile industry and further the pursuit of ISM’s mission of being the preeminent worldwide center of knowledge for the development and advancement of micropile technology.

  • Draft 1 the Evolution of Specialty Geotechnical
    draft THE EVOLUTION OF SPECIALTY GEOTECHNICAL CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES: THE “GREAT LEAP” THEORY “The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited.” (Plutarch c 120 AD) 1. DEVELOPMENT OF THE BASIC THESIS Between 1858 and 1865, the great Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle wrote a 6-volume opus on the life and times of King Frederick the Great of Prussia. This work had followed his 1841 masterpiece “On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History.” In these publications, Carlyle developed what we now call the “Great Man” theory of history. This states that “the history of the world is but a biography of great men.” He evaluated the hero as divinity (in the form of pagan myths), as prophet (Mohammed), as poet (Dante, Shakespeare), as pastor (Martin Luther, John Knox), as man of letters (Samuel Johnson, Robbie Burns), and as king (Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon Bonaparte, paradoxically, kings in all but name). With time, at a different time, Carlyle could have doubtless explored the hero as a warrior (Admiral Lord Nelson, General Stonewall Jackson, General George Patton) or the hero as a musician (as David Bowie wanted to be in his 1977 masterpiece) or as patriot, like that other Bowie of Scottish origins, Jim, who died fighting for the freedom of Texas at the Alamo in 1836. All of us here today are engaged in some aspect of the broad field of geotechnical engineering – a discipline barely embryonic in Carlyle’s day, and bound primarily to the demands of military engineering. We can be convinced that the “Great Man” theory is equally valid when considering the more fundamental and theoretical branches of our discipline, such as rock and soil mechanics.
