Performance-based design, why aren’t we leveraging it to its full potential? This is the big question posed by Shawna Munn, Aecon Group Inc.; Dave Wiley, Green Infrastructure Partners; and Katie Castelo, Isherwood Geostructural Engineers. They explore the role of Karl Terzaghi and Ralph Peck’s observational method in solving issues related to subsurface engineering and the associated construction contract risks. 📖 Read all about it in the July/August issue of #DeepFoundations magazine - https://lnkd.in/evCx_bHK #construction #civilengineering #infrastructure #DFI #widf
