On behalf of the ISSMGE, Roger Frank, President Dimitrios Zekkos, Chair of Innovation and Development Committee (IDC) 18th May 2017 ISSMGE Bulletin: Volume 11, Issue 3 Page 3 Research Highlights Geotechnical Group at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is a comprehensive and research-intensive university, with over 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students. The University is organized into eight colleges and schools. They are the College of Engineering, the College of Science, the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, the Nanyang Business School, and the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine - set up jointly with Imperial College London. The College of Engineering is the largest in the university and was ranked 4th in the world for Engineering and Technology in the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject. NTU was ranked 11th in the world and 1st in Asia in the 2017/18 QS World University Rankings. The geotechnical group at NTU was established in 1981. Professor Bengt B Broms, the President of ISSMGE from 1985 to 1989, was the head of the group from 1983 to 1994. The research focuses of the group in the past were on foundations for high-rise buildings, land reclamation, underground space development, and tropical soils engineering. The group has a tradition of working closely with industries through the NTU- PWD Geotechnical Research Centre in the past and the NTU-JTC Industrial Infrastructure Innovation (I3C) Centre or the NTU-LTA Transport Research Centre in recent years. The group has undertaken R&D works in conjunction with several large-scale construction projects in Singapore. These include the Changi East land reclamation, the Bukit Timah rock cavern and the Jurong rock cavern projects. To overcome the challenges associated with the lack of space for future economic developments and urban living, the Centre for Usable Space and the Nanyang Centre for Underground Space were also established to develop technologies and solutions for space creation, space utilisation, underground construction, and urban sustainability. Some of the recent and ongoing large-scale research projects include Underwater infrastructure and underwater city of the future, Impact of rock blasting on nearby structures, Intensification of low-density developments: functional bridging buildings, Biogrouting for underground construction, GeoBarrier system for underground structure, NTU-JTC I3C and SINTEF Joint research for cost effective advanced grouting technology for water control during cavern excavation, Pilot field trial on the application of soft materials for reclamation, Geo-Env-Mobility measuring and monitoring (GEM3) station, and Web-based 3D geodata modelling and management system (GeM2S). At the present, the geotechnical group at NTU consists of 10 faculty members: CHU Jian, Anthony GOH, LEONG Eng Choon, LOW Bak Kong, Harianto RAHARDJO, TEH Cee Ing, Budi WIBAWA, WU Wei, YI Yaolin and ZHAO Zhiye.

  • The Terzaghi, Peck and Casagrande Historical Libraries – a Resource for the Geotechnical Profession
    The Terzaghi, Peck and Casagrande Historical Libraries: a resource for the geotechnical profession S. Lacasse, K. Höeg, M. Grahn, E. Raddum Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, Oslo, Norway ABSTRACT NGI is the custodian of three historical libraries, the Terzaghi Library, the Peck Library and the Casagrande library. The collection of manuscripts, photographs, original technical drawings, artistic drawings, anecdotes, university courses, correspondence and project reports by four pioneers of our profession is unique, from a geotechnical and a bibliographical point of view. The geo-libraries are today the largest collection of original manuscripts that documents the birth of a science. This paper takes the reader on a tour of the libraries. In 1957, Terzaghi's early material in a dusty pile in Vienna was shown accidentally to Laurits Bjerrum. Through the years, the historical libraries have become a large physical and digital repository forever available to our profession. In addition to the invaluable technical content, the collections give insight into Terzaghi, Peck and the Casagrande brothers' personality and creativity, work methods, developments and accomplishments, relations with people and sense of organisation. One can find, for example Terzaghi's "Notes on Construction (1912-13)" which cover almost the entire field of civil engineering and led to the invention of soil mechanics. The libraries contain also treasures of inspiring quotes that many of us have not heard before or forgotten. A short perusing in the documents reveals that Karl Terzaghi was a brilliant, fearless and enthusiastic man, an independent thinker; Ralph Peck was a conscientious, diplomatic, down-to-earth and caring gentleman, and first of all a man of judgment; Arthur Casagrande a gifted teacher and consultant with bold, “no-nonsense” ideas and Leo Casagrande a pioneering educator and consultant, a man of substance with amiable personality.

  • Annual Report 2012 the PARLIAMENTARY and SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE (An Associate Parliamentary Group Including Members of the Associate Parliamentary Engineering Group)
    The Parliamentary and Scientific Committee An Associate Parliamentary Group Annual Report 2012 THE PARLIAMENTARY AND SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE (An Associate Parliamentary Group including Members of the Associate Parliamentary Engineering Group) Established 1939 The Parliamentary and Scientific Committee is a primary focus for scientific and technological issues providing a long-term liaison between Parliamentarians and scientific and engineering bodies, science- and engineering-based industry, academia and organisations representing those significantly affected by science. The main aim is to focus on those issues where science and politics meet, informing Members of both Houses of Parliament by indicating the relevance of scientific and technological developments to matters of public interest and to the development of policy. The Committee meets once a month when Parliament is sitting to debate a scientific or engineering topic and its relationship with political issues. These debates take place in the Palace of Westminster, starting at 5.30pm and are usually followed by informal receptions. Attendance is typically 60 –80. Most debates are followed by a working dinner where the informal atmosphere facilitates open and wide-ranging discussion between interested Parliamentarians and those most closely concerned with the evening’s topic. The Committee arranges visits to industrial and scientific establishments. Typically a party of a dozen or so will include two or three Parliamentarians who will thereby have an in-depth introduction to some aspect of the real world of science and technology. Cover photograph Elizabeth Tower Parliamentary copyright images are reproduced with the permission of Parliament Foreword by the President The Rt Hon the Lord Jenkin of Roding Despite the UK’s high standing in the world for our scientific achievements, we have long had a reputation for our technophobic tendency.
