Research for Lunch with Dr. Luo
Geotechnical Design Optimization of Energy Piles for Sustainable
Urban Environment
Thursday March 31, 2016
ASEC, Room 105
12-1 pm
Dr. Zhe Luo
Dr. Zhe Luo is an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Akron. He received his B.S. in Civil Engineering and M.S. in Highway and Railway Engineering from Tongji University, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from Clemson University. He is an Associate Member of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Member of American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), Member of Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS), Member of The United States Universities Council on Geotechnical Education and Research (USUCGER), and Member of TC304 Engineering Practice of Risk Assessment & Management of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). He is currently serving on the editorial board of International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering (Maney Publishing, UK) and Marine Georesources & Geotechnology (Taylor & Francis).
Presentation Topic
Energy piles provide clean energy in lieu of non-renewable energy resources such as petroleum and coal. This new technology does not require too much additional construction cost and can reduce carbon emissions in urban environments. Dr. Luo’s research presents a pioneering probabilistic study on the geotechnical design of energy piles.
