- Episode 105: A conversation with Dave Amori
Dave is the Vice President, Engineering at EFI Global. As VP of Engineering, Dave is responsible for the oversight of the engineering service line; product delivery, quality, training and mentoring, business development, and executive team liaison. This role also includes teaching continuing education classes to individuals in the insurance, engineering, and architecture industries on topics such as building construction, structural engineering, and building envelope investigations.
Dave and I discuss his career and his role in EFI Global as well as the importance of continuing your education throughout your career.
33 min - Episode 104: A conversation about the Fundao TSF with Tim Stark
Timothy D. Stark is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with an expertise in Geotechnical Engineering. Dr. Stark has been conducting interdisciplinary research and teaching on the static and seismic stability of natural and manmade slopes, such as dams, levees, floodwalls, and waste containment facilities, railroad geotechnics, geosynthetics and geomembranes, soil liquefaction during earthquakes, and stabilization and behavior of dredged material containment areas.
In this episode, Tim and I focus our conversation on the Fundao TSF failure and what lessons it has taught us.
23 min - Episode 103: A conversation with Juan Ayala, PhD student at the University of Western AustraliaJuan and I discuss his recent research with a CPT calibration chamber and the use of the NorSand model for tailings. As Juan says in his LinkedIn profile:"This work presents novel CPT testing in a calibration chamber of mostly contractive silty tailings, the characterization within the critical state mechanics framework using NorSand, and the comparison of the laboratory data with spherical cavity expansion simulation results using CPTwidget. From this comparison exercise with Gold and Platinum tailings, a rescaling equation is proposed to improve the fit between the simulation results and the laboratory data. We hope this work helps to improve the in-situ characterization of tailings storage facilities".37 min

From the publisher's feed
This is generally an engineering podcast that often pertains to the world of mining, and especially mining waste management, or whatever else captures my imagination. The episodes, thankfully, will be…
fairly brief.
