The father of soil mechanics, Karl von Terzaghi, was born on this day in 1883 and Geoengineer.org has a section dedicated to him!
Here you can find information about him in our “on this day” section, but also read about his legacy in Geotechnical Engineering, as well as Zekkos’ Favorite Terzaghi’s Sayings.
In addition to these, you can also find a rare film of Karl Terzaghi, which also features Casagrande, Schaffernak, and Forchheimer, as well as a recording of his last lecture on Engineering Geology at Harvard University.
