DFI Reveals Young Professor Paper Competition Winners
Arash Khosravifar is Part of the Geotechnical Engineering Group at PSU
The Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) and DFI Educational Trust 2017 Young Professor Paper Competition winner is Arash Khosravifar, Ph.D., PE. Khosravifar is a part of the geotechnical engineering group in the civil and environmental engineering department at Portland State University (PSU).
In his paper, “Development of a Design Guideline for Bridge Pile Foundations subjected to Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Spreading,” Khosravifar, along with his co-author Jonathan Nasr, describe the development of new equivalent static analysis (ESA) methods that combine inertial and lateral spreading loads for estimating elastic and inelastic pile demands.
