Geotechnical Engineering
PETER K. ROBERTSON
PROFESSOR EMERITUS
Having over 30 years of experience as an educator, researcher, consultant and practitioner.
Welcome to my official website!
I have decided to create this site to provide information about Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and liquefaction to practicing engineers and geologists.
I have included all my technical papers here for reference as well as my Robertson’s Remarks and other informal information about cone penetration testing. Enjoy!
Work.
At PK Robertson, Inc., I lead a dedicated consulting firm specializing in geotechnical projects worldwide. As a member of an expert advisory panel for the mining industry, I am committed to advancing the practice and ensuring safe operations of tailings and mine facilities. I enjoy sharing my expertise in Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) through various speaking engagements and collaborations with industry professionals and academic institutions.
Collaborate.
I was also involved in the creation of a number of inexpensive software programs available for engineers to interpret CPT data, along with John Ioannides, a talented geotechnical engineer and software programmer in Greece.
We came up with a program for CPT Interpretation called CPeT-IT as well as one for liquefaction evaluation called CLiq (pron. “Slick”).
I frequently use these programs to help answer technical questions or solve design issues using CPT data. I recommend visiting the website of the software company, GeoLogismiki.
Talk.
I continue to consult on projects and often travel internationally for conferences or speaking engagements.
June 21-22, 2018 – Attended CPT’18 – Delft, Netherlands
March 17-21, 2015 – Seed Lecture from IFCEE – San Antonio, TX
Publish.
I wanted to make most of my papers and publications available to the engineering community. Please feel free to download these papers and use them for your own reference or research.
