Episode Synopsis

P-Y curves may sound like a niche topic, but they’re central to how we design deep foundations under lateral loads.In this episode of ROCK SOLID LEADERS, we get technical. Dr. Anne Lemnitzer (UC Irvine) explains why P-Y curves matter, how they’re evolving with new research, and what that means for geotechnical and structural engineering.Listeners will learn:How new testing is reshaping old assumptionsWhat engineers must consider when applying P-Y curves to real-world projectsAdvice for young engineersIf you’ve ever designed or relied on a foundation, this episode will change the way you think about laterally loaded piles.
