This week, we go underground to the world of geotechnical engineering with Dr. Ana Mohseni! Geotechnical engineering underpins almost all the work that civil engineers do, from providing foundations for structures to building dams, wharves, tunnels, and roads. We discuss metro construction, geosynthetics, the joy (and hardship) of fieldwork, and how geotechnical engineers shape the world around us.
Thank you to our guest, Dr. Mohseni, and to our listeners!
