USGS Researcher Receives Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers
The Thomas A. Middlebrooks Award is given to researchers by ASCE for a paper judged worthy of special commendation for its merit as a contribution to the field of geotechnical engineering. ASCE presents only one Middlebrooks Award annually. Rob Kayen and his colleagues received the award on February 21, 2007, in Denver, Colorado, at the national meeting of the GeoInstitute, one of seven specialty institutes of ASCE. The citation of the paper for which the group received the Middlebrooks Award is: Cetin, K. Onder, Seed, Raymond B., Der Kiureghian, Armen, Tokimatsu, Kohji, Harder, Leslie F. Jr., Kayen, Robert E., Moss, Robert E.S., 2004, SPT-based probabilistic and deterministic assessment of seismic soil liquefaction potential: Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, v. 130, no. 12, p. 1314-1340.
