Richart Commemorative Lectures

By Richard D. Woods

Proceedings of a session at the ASCE National Convention, held in Detroit, Michigan, October 23, 1985. Sponsored by the Geotechnical Engineering Division of ASCE. This collection contains four papers presented to recognize the accomplishments of Professor F.E. Richart. The geotechnical specialty known as soil dynamics has evolved during the past 25 years from a minor role to a mainstream discipline. Professor Richart played a major role in the development of this specialty. He has progressively led the way to conquering the basic elements required to build a sound and rational approach to problems of soil and foundation dynamics. Topics include: the strength of soils in terms of effective stress; recent developments in resonant column testing; limits on dynamic measurements and instrumentation; and shallow seismic exploration in soil dynamics.
