Greetings
Geoengineer.org is pleased to announce the launch of "Professor
Ralph Peck's Legacy Website". The Website has been
developed to celebrate the life and legacy of one of the
Heroes of the geotechnical engineering field and honor a
distinguished geotechnical engineer for his dedication and
contributions to the society as a teacher, author, and
engineer. The Website includes a lot of resources such as
biographical data, quotes, photos, powerpoints, and even
videos of lectures by Professor Peck.
The Shamsher
Prakash Foundation has generously sponsored this activity. The
website has been developed in collaboration with Mrs. Nancy
Peck-Young, Prof. Peck's daughter and was supervised by an
international Advisory Committee of distinguished members of
our community that had the luxury of knowing Prof. Peck and
consists of Prof. Dobry, Prof. Cording, Prof. Prakash and Dr.
Lacasse. The content of the website is divided in three parts:
"About his life", "Publications" and "Resources". Read below
for more information.
We hope that this resource will
be a source of inspiration for the future generations of
geotechnical engineers. We also encourage you to provide us
with any additional resources/content and we will be glad to
include it in the website's content.
Also, if you
would like to support Geoengineer.org in developing similar
and other innovative resources, consider becoming a donor
of Geoengineer.org.
