Cox Delivers Prakash Lecture at Geo-CongressPosted: Apr 15, 2024
"This is such an honor," Cox said. "Dr. Prakash was a wonderful professor and I have deep gratitude for the opportunity to receive this award in his name." The lecture, "What Spatial Area Influence Seismic Site Response," is available on YouTube. Cox is a geotechnical engineering professor in the USU Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. As a part of his award, Cox presented research findings on seismic site response analyses during the ASCE Geo-Institute Conference. He specializes in geotechnical engineering, with emphasis on issues related to seismic design and in-situ site characterization for major construction projects. His research efforts combine experimental field testing with computational analyses and high-performance computing. Cox is serving as principal investigator on MPC project 694, "Calibrating Ground Response Analyses Beneath an Instrumented Bridge Using the I-15 Borehole Array and Ground Motions from the Magna Earthquake." |
