PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION

Registered Professional Engineer: State of Texas

SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE

Dr. Stokoe has been working in the areas of in situ seismic measurements, laboratory measurements of dynamic material properties, and dynamic soil-structure interaction for the past 38 years.  He was instrumental in developing the crosshole seismic method for in-situ shear wave velocity measurement to the method that has been adopted as the standard by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM D4428M) and the method that is used by geotechnical engineering firms worldwide.  This method is also specified by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in Regulation Guide 1.132 as a field seismic method to evaluate shear and compression wave velocity profiles.  He has also developed a combined resonant column and torsional shear (RCTS) system which is now used by many universities and private firms in the U.S., Europe and Asia to evaluate dynamic material properties.  The RCTS system is also specified, in general terms, by the NRC for existing or potential sites of nuclear power plants in Regulation Guide 1.138 as a testing system to evaluate the nonlinear dynamic properties of geotechnical materials.  In the round of early site permits that are now underway in the United States, this RCTS system is the only one being used to evaluate dynamic soil properties by geotechnical engineering firms.

In the last 35 years, Dr. Stokoe has conducted major research efforts in the areas of:  (1) seismic testing of pavements, runways and geotechnical systems, and (2) laboratory evaluation of soil stiffness under cyclic and dynamic loading conditions.  He and his colleagues have developed the Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method for testing geotechnical and pavement systems and structural components.  Dr. Stokoe has conducted major field studies using the SASW method to investigate: (1) earth dams for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the Icelandic government and Delft Geotechnical Laboratories, (2) debris slides for the U.S. Geological Survey and the Italian government, and (3) granular soils that liquefied during previous earthquakes with support from the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. National Science Foundation.  The SASW method is also specified by NRC in Regulation Guide 1.132 as a field seismic method that can be used to evaluate shear wave velocity profiles at existing or potential sites of nuclear power plants.  Under NQA-1 requirements, he has performed extensive SASW investigations for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at the proposed geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada and at the location of the Waste Treatment Plant where high-level radioactive waste will be processed in Hanford, Washington.  He has also conducted extensive seismic tests for DOE under NQA-1 requirements using: (1) the crosshole method at Los Alamos National Laboratories, New Mexico, and the Y-12 National Security Complex, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and (2) a modified downhole method to perform deep test at the Waste Treatment Plant in Hanford, Washington (to a depth of 1400 ft) and at the Yucca Mountain Site in Nevada (to a depth of 3000 ft).

Dr. Stokoe has participated in numerous demonstration projects involving SASW testing of airport runways and taxiways over the past 23 years.  Testing has been performed at McDill, Homestead, and Tyndell Air Force Bases.  Testing was also performed at the Cannon International Airport in Reno, Nevada and the Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa, California.  More recently, Dr. Stokoe has applied the SASW method (combined with crosshole tests) at John F. Kennedy Airport to evaluate changes beneath runways and taxiways due to micro-tunneling activities.  He has adapted the SASW method for testing concrete structural elements to evaluate damage and has been awarded Patent No. SN 071 462, 404 for In Situ Testing with Surface Seismic Waves of Materials Having Properties that Change with Time.

Over the past 14 years, Dr. Stokoe has been leading  the development of the Rolling Dynamic Deflectometer (RDD) with funding from Texas DOT and federal agencies.  The purpose of this device is to perform continuous profiles of highway and airport pavement stiffnesses “on-the-fly.”  This deflectometer operates at speeds around 2 km/hr (about 1.2 mph) and presently represents a “one-of-a-kind” piece of equipment.  Most recently, the RDD has been used to profile runways at the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Airport, Portland Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Atlanta International Airport, various smaller airports in Texas and numerous highway pavement sections in Texas.

The laboratory studies with which Dr. Stokoe has been involved can be divided into two groups.  The first group has dealt with the use of resonant column/torsional shear (RCTS) equipment to evaluate the linear and nonlinear shear modulus and material damping of soils.  Dr. Stokoe has completed major laboratory studies where dynamic soil properties for the Savannah River Nuclear Power Station were evaluated for the Westinghouse Corporation, and where generic nonlinear soil models (including frequency-dependent material damping) were developed for the Electric Power Research Institute and the ROSRINE (Resolution of Site Response Issues in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake) project.  These three studies have been directed towards evaluating the response of soil sites during earthquakes.  Recently, dynamic soil and rock properties have been evaluated under NQA-1 requirements with the RCTS equipment for projects at Yucca Mountain, Hanford, Los Alamos National Laboratories and the Y-12 National Security Complex for DOE.  The second group of laboratory studies in which Dr. Stokoe has been involved has dealt with axially loading specimens, either with transient pulses or continuous cycling for measurement of Young's, resilient and constrained moduli.  This work has been conducted with funding from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, National Science Foundation (NSF), California DOT, Texas DOT and DOE.  Much of the recent work has been performed in conjunction with resilient modulus testing of subgrade soils.

Over the last nine years Dr Stokoe has spent a significant amount of time on an important academic project.  He received (along with Prof. Rathje and Prof. Wilson) a $3 million NSF grant in the NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) program.  This project involved developing large-scale mobile field equipment for dynamic loading of geotechnical systems, foundations and structures.  Development of the equipment was completed in September, 2004 and operation of the equipment immediately began.  This project involves shared use of the equipment with other researchers around the U.S. and has a 10-year operating commitment from NSF.  Some of Dr. Stokoe’s time each year is spent on this commitment.  The equipment gives the research community field capabilities that never before existed.  The equipment, which is having a substantial impact on the geotechnical earthquake engineering community in the United States, has already been used by a total of 18 universities, governmental researchers and private firms around the U.S. Dr. Stokoe has been one of the leaders using this equipment to develop new testing methods to evaluate soil nonlinearity and liquefaction directly in the field.  He is also instrumental in developing the equipment to evaluate stiffness profiles over depths of 1000 to 3000 ft and over areas of several hundred square miles.
