The team composed of METU Civil Engineering Department undergraduate student Celal Emre Uyeturk and graduate student, research assistant, Emir Ahmet Oguz ranked in the top three teams at ASCE GeoInstitute Annual Geoprediction student competition. They are invited by ASCE GeoInstitute to Orlando, Florida on 13 March 2017 to make a presentation and compete in the final assessment. The student competition was about the most accurate prediction of time-dependent settlement and lateral deformations under an embankment loading over soft soil next to a river. There were prefabricated vertical drains in soft soil and a geotextile underneath the embankment. We congratulate METU team!
