Civil Engineering Club Update
Posted by jen on 04/01/2013 12:00 am / Membership Update
The past couple club meetings have been focusing on Geotechnical Engineering. First, the students experimented with making stronger subgrades for their piles of bricks. It was demonstrated that a lone pile of sand cannot support many bricks, but if we use just a few paper towels as a sort of geogrid, we can strengthen the sand for our foundation.
This past week, we had Hugh Kelly, PE, PG, from Parsons Brinkerhoff give a presentation on what he does as a geotechnical/geological engineer.
