We welcome our Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) participants. Anna Babchanik is a senior at California State University Sacramento (Sac State) and will be working on velocity inversions for engineering hazard assessments. Oscar Sosa Cordova is a senior at California State University Fullerton and will be working Micro CT Investigation of Biocemented Sands.
This study was motivated by the difficulty in determining the resilient modulus of soils using the repeated load triaxial test (RLTT) recommended by the mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG). An alternative means to estimate the resilient modulus of fine-grained soils has been established in the form of three models that were developed using three supervised … Read More
Hilary Keuni, our CURVE undergraduate researcher, presents her research efforts on “Standardizing a Database for Biocemented Soils for Use in Engineering Analysis and Design”. CURVE is the Center for Undergraduate Research at Viterbi Engineering program, which is the academic year research mentorship opportunity for undergraduate students at USC.
