Professor George Gazetas
The Ishihara Lecture was delivered this year by Professor George Gazetas of the National Technical University at Athens during the 18th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (18th ICSMGE) in Paris, France, September 2-5, 2013.
In 2003 the Technical Committee on Earthquake Geotechnics of the IASMGE established a heritage lecture to honor the great engineer and scientist, Professor Kenji Ishihara, a pioneer in geotechnical earthquake engineering. The lecture is given every four years by an internationally renowned researcher–scientist to recognize his contributions in the field. This was the 4th lecture in the series. The previous three recipients were:
2004: Prof. Liam Finn (Canada)
2007: Prof. Izzat Idriss (USA)
2011: Prof. Ricardo Dobry (USA)
The title of Prof. Gazetas’ lecture was : “Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems Beyond Conventional Seismic Failure Thresholds” .
