CGS’s 99th Cross Country Lecture Tour this past spring featuring Dr. Vaughan Griffiths was a great success in the 11 cities he was able to visit, and CGS members were offered two live webinar broadcasts – Finite Element Stability Analysis and Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering.
Dr. Griffiths' lecture Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering was recorded and is now available in the Members Section of the CGS website: www.cgs.ca/members.
