Geotechnical Seminar 4PM Today- Sang Inn Woo
by Emma Nicole Montes 04 Feb '25

04 Feb '25

Good morning! In addition to the Structures seminar being held today we also have an additional seminar from Geotechnical Specialty. See below for the details! EFFECT OF PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION ON VARIABILITY IN STRESS MEASUREMENT WITHIN SANDY GROUND USING FORCE SENSING RESISTORS Sang Inn Woo, Ph. D. Associate Professor Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Incheon National University Feb 4, 2025 4PM ARMS 1021 Abstract: Variability in stress measurements within granular materials is influenced by the characteristics of particles in contact with the sensor. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of particle size distribution on the variability of stress measurement within a particulate medium. To achieve this, a force sensing resistor was embedded in a model ground composed of laboratory-prepared sand samples, and repeated stress measurements were conducted. The results reveal that sensors larger than the particle diameter facilitate reproducible earth pressure measurements. Furthermore, a broader particle size distribution enhances measurement reproducibility, although variability increases when the size difference between large and small particles becomes significant. Bio Dr. Sang Inn Woo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Incheon National University, South Korea. In 2015, He earned his Ph.D. supervised by Prof. Salgado from Purdue University, specializing in the numerical simulation of penetration in sand. Dr. Woo’s research focuses on soil constitutive modeling, large deformation numerical analysis using MPM, geotechnical model tests and applications of cutting-edge sensors in geotechnical projects. Currently he is working on multiple research projects: 1) stress measurement within sandy ground, 2) geotechnical centrifuge tests for consolidation and creep settlement of soft clay, and 3) digitalization of construction protocols for automated verification of geotechnical design.

College of Engineering Change Management Feedback Survey
by Govindaraju, Rao S 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

All: The 2024-25 academic year marked a major transition in the history of the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering. I would like to thank all faculty and staff for your collective efforts towards the successful merger of our two schools. We have now passed the first six months of the merger; I ask that you please respond to a short survey to provide feedback regarding what efforts the school's leadership can take to support the faculty, staff, and students' transition to our new structure. This survey process will be carried out in confidence. It will be retrospective, and thus, will consider merger efforts that have been taken in the past. It will also be prospective in that it will be used to suggest areas for emphasis and change to further the successful engagement of faculty, staff, and students in the future. As part of the survey process, Human Resources will send out a survey soliciting input from all Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering faculty and staff. Within the next day or two you will receive an email from Adedayo Adeniyi (lod(a)purdue.edu<mailto:lod@purdue.edu>). This email will contain the link to the survey, which should take 5-10 minutes to complete. Please take the appropriate time to contribute your perspective and provide your responses by 11:59 p.m. on February 19, 2025. The survey instrument consists of several Likert scale questions and 1 open-ended question. I would greatly appreciate you taking the time to give feedback. Please contact HR's Leadership and Organizational Development Department at lod(a)purdue.edu<mailto:lod@purdue.edu> if you have any questions concerning the feedback survey. Thanks and best. GS

All: Please have your nominations for Bravo awards reach me by 5:00 pm of January 27, 2025, to meet the CoE deadline. Best. GS From: Engfaculty-list <engfaculty-list-bounces(a)ecn.purdue.edu> On Behalf Of Sondgerath, William J Sent: Monday, January 13, 2025 9:32 AM To: engap-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu; engcs-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu; 'engfaculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu' <engfaculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu> Cc: ebo-mgrs-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu Subject: Bravo+ Staff Awards - Nominations due by January 31st Importance: High Dear CoE Colleagues, We are excited to announce the January 2025 call for Staff Bravo+ Award nominations. Whether it's a staff member who created a new efficient workflow process, or a person who went above and beyond their normal responsibilities to complete a critical project, there are many staff who deserve to be recognized for their outstanding efforts. Please keep in mind that each unit can provide Bravo Awards up to a maximum funding limit. The maximum dollar amount that can be awarded by a unit over the fiscal year is based upon the number of full-time equivalent employees. Nominations are due by the end of business on Friday, January 31st Please send completed nominations (with all necessary approvals from the nominee's supervisor, department head, and Business Manager ) to Will Sondgerath at wsondger(a)purdue.edu<mailto:wsondger@purdue.edu>. As you recall, Bravo Awards are provided for specific accomplishments in any of the following four categories: * Moving the University Forward: Accomplishments or contributions that transform or advance University objectives (i.e., initiatives that improve graduation rates, development of programs to measure student academic knowledge, enhancing the academic excellence of the University, improving student affordability, etc.). * Operational Excellence: Extraordinary effort during times of critical department need (e.g., contribution that clearly and significantly exceeds standard job requirements and impacts the accomplishments of important and critical business operational goals and deliverables) or extraordinary performance that far exceeds expected or required performance. Managers must be able to document specific achievements and/or measurable contributions to the unit's business based upon the employee's exceptional performance. * Innovation/Creativity: Innovative work or suggestions, well beyond standard job requirements, that significantly improve operational efficiencies, introduce a new or modified business practice or improve work process, workflow or customer service. * Fiscal Stewardship: Significant cost saving or cost avoidance realized beyond normally expected or established standards. Bravo+ Awards provide non-recurring cash payments up to a maximum of $2,000. The College of Engineering will give Bravo Awards in the amounts of $500, $1,000, $1,500, and $2,000, with the level determined by the scope and impact of accomplishment. To be eligible for a Bravo+ Award, employees must: * Have been employed at the University for at least 3 months * Be an active employee * At least meet expectations, according to the supervisor's performance assessment of the employee; the employee must also have no outstanding disciplinary actions Nominators should complete section one of nomination form (attached) the to nominate deserving staff. The nomination form may include an attached document (maximum of one page) if additional space is needed to explain the specific accomplishment for which the employee is being nominated. The nomination description should explain the accomplishment's connection to one of the four relevant award categories. The documentation should also include details about the accomplishment's scope (small to large scale) and impact (low to high scale) as well as a recommended award amount. By February 7th nominators, supervisors, and school or unit Heads/Directors will be notified of award approvals in addition to the employee being recognized. College of Engineering award winners will be publicly announced through college-wide communications, in addition to a reception recognizing recipients. If you have questions regarding the College of Engineering's Bravo+ Award program, please contact Will Sondgerath at wsondger(a)purdue.edu<mailto:wsondger@purdue.edu>. Our next call for Bravo+ Award nominations will be in June. Best, Will William J.
