The Geo-Institut e and CalGeo Student Chapters at UC San Diego are pleased to invite you to join us on Tuesday, April 16th (5:30-8:00 pm) for the ASCE Geo-Institute Cr oss-USA Lecture at University of California San Diego.
Presented by: Paul W. May ne, Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.
Stress history is an important measurement in so ils as it affects strength, stability, stiffness, and flow characteristics. The evaluation of the in-situ pre-consolidation stress, or effective yield stress, from the results of piezocone penetration tests allows for an econ omical and expedient means to profile the stress history of clays, silts, s ands, and mixed soil types on geotechnical projects. The methodology is ini tally based on a derived analytical cavity expansion - critical state solut ion for clays which was calibrated using data from 206 sites. Then statist ical inversion of data from 706 calibration chamber tests on sands. Applica tions are given for case studies involving clay, silt, and sand where labor atory consolidation tests and/or geologic stress history provide benchmark values for the yield stress profiles. Since yield stress demarcates contrac tive vs. dilative soil behavior, it is shown that the methodology can scree n soil susceptibility concerns involving both flow and cyclic liquefaction, with several case studies shown relative to conventional approaches.
Paul W. Mayne. P.E., PhD, a professor of Civil & En
vironmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, has been se
lected as the 2018-2019 Cross-USA Lecturer for the Geo-Institute of the Ame
rican Society of Civil Engineers.
With 42 years in geotechnical
engineering, Paul is an expert in geotechnical site characterization, parti
cularly the cone penetrometer, piezocone, dilatometer, and seismic tests wi
th applications to foundation systems and ground modification. He has publi
shed 320 technical papers and participated in 120 short courses.
Of recent, Paul authored the Synthesis 368 on Cone Penetration Testing (ww
w.trb.org), co‐authored the SOA‐1: Geomaterial Behavior & Testing at th
e 17th ICSMGE in Egypt in 2009, gave the ASCE SOA lecture on In‐Situ Testin
g (GeoOakland 2012), 16th Sowers Lecture (2013), 12th Jennings Lecture in S
outh Africa (2014), James Hoover Distinguished Lecture at Iowa State Univ.
(2014), invited keynote KN2 at CPT’14, 2014 Hal Hunt Lecture at the 39th An
nual DFI Conference, invited keynote at ISC‐5 Brisbane (2016), Nonveiller L
ecture in Zagreb (2016), 34th Manuel Rocha Lecture in Lisbon (2017), and wa
s selected as a GeoLegend by GeoStrata (2016).
Dr. Mayne is an active
member of ASCE, TRB, DFI, ADSC, CGS, USUCGER, and ISSMGE, and served as ch
air of the international committee on in‐situ testing (TC 102) from 2000‐20
13 and ISSMGE Vice President for North America from 2013‐2017. Of additiona
l note, Paul has worked as a consultant on recent projects in Australia, Vi
rginia, Washington, South Carolina, Ontario, Puerto Rico, Alabama, Georgia,
Belgium, North Carolina, and Alaska.
He is married with one daughter
and plays bass guitar.
