P-Y curves may sound like a niche topic, but they’re central to how we design deep foundations under lateral loads.
In this episode of ROCK SOLID LEADERS, we get technical. Dr. Anne Lemnitzer (UC Irvine) explains why P-Y curves matter, how they’re evolving with new research, and what that means for geotechnical and structural engineering.
Listeners will learn:
How new testing is reshaping old assumptions
What engineers must consider when applying P-Y curves to real-world projects
Advice for young engineers
If you’ve ever designed or relied on a foundation, this episode will change the way you think about laterally loaded piles.
