SUMMARY:Workshop Series on Seismic Geotechnical Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nA series of five virtual workshops on Seismic Geotechnical Engineering with both state-of-the-art theories and practical applications\n\n\n\nThe Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division (SMFD) of the CGS is mandated to promote the practice and research in classic geotechnical engineering and to provide professional development opportunities to members and colleagues. The SMFD executive committee is pleased to announce a series of five virtual workshops on Seismic Geotechnical Engineering\, featuring 10 distinguished speakers from leading universities and industry across Canada and the United States. The workshop will highlight both state-of-the-art theories and practical applications\, drawing on lessons from past earthquake reconnaissance\, advances in seismic hazard assessment and modelling\, liquefaction evaluation\, field measurement techniques\, and numerical modelling approaches. A certificate of 10 PDH will be handed out upon request. \nObjective: Disseminate state-of-the-art practices and theories in seismic geotechnical engineering assessment and design. \nWho should attend: Young engineers\, graduate and undergraduate students \nOne registration is necessary for accessing all five lecture series. If there are questions regarding the event and the registration\, please contact Mehdi Hosseyni at mehdi_hosseyni@clifton.ca\, Yolanda Alberto at yalberto@bgcengineering.ca\, or Cheng Lin at chenglin918@uvic.ca \n\n\n\nFor more information about the workshops\, speakers and registration\, go to Workshop Series on Seismic Geotechnical Engineering Tickets\, Multiple Dates | Eventbrite

SUMMARY:2nd Annual VGS Legacy Lecture – A Foundational Force in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering: The Legacy of a True Pioneer
DESCRIPTION:The VGS’s annual legacy lecture series is designed to honor the legacy of local geotechnical leaders. This year\, the VGS is pleased to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Liam Finn. \nDr. Liam Finn\, Professor Emeritus\, University of British Columbia\, Vancouver\, BC\nW. D. Liam Finn is a world authority in geotechnical earthquake engineering. He graduated from the National University of Ireland in 1954 with a B.Eng. in Civil Engineering and earned his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Washington in Seattle in 1957 and 1960\, respectively. In 1961\, he joined the University of British Columbia\, where he founded Canada’s first program in geotechnical earthquake engineering and later served as Head of Civil Engineering and Dean of Applied Science. From 1999 to 2005\, he held the position of Anabuki Professor of Foundation Geodynamics at Kagawa University in Japan. In 1975\, Finn pioneered the development of the Martin-Finn-Seed model describing pore pressure buildup in saturated soils under cyclic loading\, forming the basis for the first-ever effective stress-based dynamic analysis of earth structures—a framework that remains a cornerstone in the field. With over 350 published papers\, his work has earned numerous accolades\, including the CGS’s most prestigious Legget Medal and the H. B. Seed Medal from ASCE. He is an honorary international member of the Japanese Geotechnical Society\, the Chinese Society of Soil Dynamics\, EERI\, and IAEE\, and also serves as an honorary professor at the Institute of Building Construction in Beijing. In addition\, he is a fellow of Churchill College\, Cambridge\, and of the Engineering Institute of Canada. From 2000 to 2008\, he served as Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering. His leadership extended to chairing ISSMGE committee and contributing to the seismic design guidelines for port structures. For several decades\, he participated in the committee responsible for seismic provisions in the NBCC and\, from 2007 onward\, served on the Technical Review Board for the Seismic Retrofit of BC Schools. Finn’s legacy blends visionary research\, transformative contributions\, global leadership\, and a lifelong commitment to mentorship\, advancing earthquake engineering and enhancing the seismic resilience of structures and communities.
