This lecture will unveil the hidden secrets to successful geotechnical engineering. By exploring a framework of six powerful Ps, the talk investigates how these often-overlooked elements can dramatically influence project outcomes, from conception to completion. The 6 Ps have been established over the course of two decades but are not those that people typically assume…
Widely viewed as the most prestigious of the invited lectures in geotechnics and was first held in 1961.
