U.S. National Liquefaction Hazard Maps and their Implications for Engineering Practice and Policy
… U.S. and abroad. The model surrogates state-of-practice liquefaction models, exploits a large library of geospatial predictors to infer subsurface traits, and is geostatistically updated near in-situ tests, thereby anchoring ML predictions to measured conditions. Liquefaction hazard is mapped …

The Role of Mathematics in Engineering Practice and in the Formation of Engineers
… research investigated the role of mathematics in engineering practice and whether there is a relationship between students’ experiences with school mathematics and their choice of engineering as a career. The study was inspired by the observation that there is a lacuna in the scholarly literature …

The development of a rapid chloride test for concrete and its use in engineering practice
The test is of low cost, has a sound theoretical basis, and as far as can be ascertained, is the most rapid of all chloride tests developed to date. Due to the short test duration, it is possible to test concretes cured for very short periods. Samples can also be left immersed in chloride solution …

Engineering as Technology of Technology and the Subjugated Practice
… First, modern ideas of technology and engineering have been over-represented by their dominant forms: that technology is all about progress and the more advanced "high" technology and that engineering chiefly concerns quantity, efficiency, problem-solving, and "better" machines. Second, …
