The 2016 Ralph B Peck Lecture was delivered at Geo-Structures Congress 2016 in Phoenix, AZ on February 16, 2016. The 2016 Peck Lecturer was Ross Boulanger of the University of California Davis. His lecture title was "Liquefaction and Spatial Variability."
The Peck Award was established in 1999 by the Geo-Institute of the Society in honor of Ralph B. Peck, Dist.M.ASCE. Funds to support this award were donated by the Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA, formerly ASFE).
The award is presented for outstanding contributions to the geotechnical engineering profession through the publication of a thoughtful, carefully researched case history or histories, or the publication of recommended practices or design methodologies based on the evaluation of case histories.
