Hochschule
Im Jahr 2013 wurde ich an der Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften im Fachbereich Bau- und Umweltingenieurwesen mit den Schwerpunkten Geotechnik und Tunnelbau in Forschung und Lehre berufen.
“Unfortunately, soils are made by nature and not by man, and the products of nature are always complex… As soon as we pass from steel and concrete to earth, the omnipotence of theory ceases to exist. Natural soil is never uniform. Its properties change from point to point while our knowledge of its properties are limited to those few spots at which the samples have been collected. In soil mechanics the accuracy of computed results never exceeds that of a crude estimate, and the principal function of theory consists in teaching us what and how to observe in the field.”
Karl von Terzaghi (1883-1963)
