2023 EH Davis Memorial Lecture Award Winner announced: Prof. Anna Giacomini
Posted:
The Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) is pleased to announce that Professor Anna Giacomini of the University of Newcastle is the winner of our prestigious 2023 EH Davis Memorial Lecture Award. This biennial lecture commemorates the work in geomechanics by Professor Edward Hughesdon Davis, a pioneer of geomechanics in Australia. He perceived that progress and understanding of the theoretical basis of geomechanics would only come if consistent, sound, but simple models of soil behaviour were used. The two topics that were the central focus of his research were the application of the theory of elasticity to foundation deformation and the theory of plasticity to stability. The EH Davis Award lecturer is a person selected by the National Committee as having made a distinguished…
