2019 Karl Terzaghi Lecture: Ed Idriss: Response of Soil Sites During Earthquakes

Ed Idriss delivered the 2019 Karl Terzaghi Lecture at Geo-Congress 2019 in Philadelphia, PA, on March 26, 2019. The full title was "Response of Soil Sites During Earthquakes: A 60-year Perspective."
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.
