DESCRIPTION:
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 Heros 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 or lectures of 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 next generations of geotechnical engineers. We also encourage you to provide us with any additional resources/content and we will be glad to add it and include it in the website's content.
