Dr. Makdisi has published more than 30 papers and major research reports. His paper (co-authored with Seed, Lee, and Idriss) on the analyses of the slides in the San Fernando Dams during the 1971 San Fernando earthquake was awarded the 1977 Norman Medal award of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Dr. Makdisi is currently involved (with Dr. Z.L Wang of Geomatrix Consultants) in incorporating non linear constitutive models in analytical procedures (such as the program FLAC) to simulate earthquake-induced liquefaction and deformation of embankment slopes and earth structures. He has presented lectures at ASCE seminars and workshops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Oakland, California, and Seattle, Washington, as well as lectures at the University of California campuses at Berkeley and Davis and at Stanford University. He was invited to present a keynote lecture on the seismic stability of embankments and slopes at the session on slope stability at the Geo-Denver 2000 conference of ASCE’s Geo-Institute. He also presented a lecture on seismic design criteria for dams at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Dam Safety Workshop, held in Portland, Oregon, in March of 2001. As a member of a team of Technical Advisors to the Los Angeles District, Corps of Engineers, on the design and construction of Seven Oaks Dam in California, Dr. Makdisi was a co-recipient of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chief of Engineers “Design and Environmental Honor Award for 2002.” C:\Documents and Settings\rfulham\Desktop\FMakdisi_1Page_DWR_05.doc (02/05) FAIZ I.
