Best Western Executive Inn
Seattle, WA
Share this event:


This presentation will focus on current research regarding the March 22, 2014 SR530 Landslide.  This major, tragic landslide exhibited some particular aspects of geo-mechanical behavior. Its detailed study by several groups of specialists will contribute to better understanding of landslide mechanisms and to improved methods of hazard and risk assessment. The on-going research is focused on landslide triggering and runout of the slide mass. In particular, Professor Stark will focus on the field and laboratory investigations, slope stability analyses, and triggering aspects of the landslide and Professor Hungr will focus on the runout mechanism and distance. The presentation will be followed by a discussion period.  

Timothy D. Stark is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with an expertise in landslides and slope stability. Professor Stark has received a number of awards for his research, teaching, and service including the Thomas A. Middlebrooks Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 2013 and 1998; Editor of the Year by the ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2011; R.M. Quigley Award from the Canadian Geotechnical Society, 2006; R.S. Ladd ASTM Standards Development Award from the ASTM, 2014, 2011, and 2002, and Walter L. Huber Research Prize from ASCE, 1999.

Oldrich Hungr is a Professor of Geological Engineering at the University of British Columbia, with an expertise in landslide behavior and hazard and risk assessment.  Professor Hungr's career includes some 20 years as a geotechnical engineering consultant and a similar period as an academic. He received awards from both engineering and geology organizations. He co-edited the book "Landslide Risk Management", published in 2005 by Taylor and Francis Group. His current research interests focus on landslide failure mechanisms and prediction of movement.
