... method was introduced into geotechnical engineering by Peck (1969) in his Rankine lecture. He was following here Terzaghi, who already in the 1940s tentatively proposed a method, which he alternatively called experimental method and learn-as-you-go method . Terzaghi s considerations revolved around...

... approach to geotechnical engineering. The current organization of the geotechnical community is not adequate to foster this approach. The formation of an International Geotechnical Union is advocated in order to better meet the challenges of the new millennium. 1.0 INTRODUCTION This singular event, Geo Eng...
