Contact Eddie Hernandez to RSVP via email at [email protected] SUMMARY & BIO This presentation aims to familiarize engineers & technicians in construction with the value of one of many geotechnical tests. Rock erosion is a rock-water interaction phenomenon whose lack of understanding can lead to failure of foundations or release of corrosive chlorides normally contained within some rocks. Mr. Keaton will summarize old test methods and what he has learned with new modified methods which improved prediction of scour. The geotechnical scour number is an index parameter that relates the rate of wear of degradable weak rock deposits with applied stream power of flowing water in stream channels. Dr. Jeffrey Keaton specializes in quantifying hazardous natural processes for siting and design of all types of facilities in all geologic environments. Keaton has been employed by consulting firms for over 45 years and in Amec Foster Wheeler’s Los Angeles office of since July 2005 where he is a Principal Engineering Geologist. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America and of the American Society of Civil Engineers; a member of ASCE’s Committee on Sustainability and is the chair of its Strategic Communications Subcommittee.
