Evaluating Liquefaction of Gravelly Soils - The Influence of Soil Gradation on

Penetration Resistance and the Dynamic Response of Level and Sloping Ground

Dr. Jason DeJong is a Professor at the University of California, Davis. Jason is the Director of

the NSF NHERI Center for Geotechnical Modeling and the UC Davis lead for the NSF ERC

Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics. Prof. DeJong’s major technical

achievements have been in the areas soil and site characterization, earthquake engineering,

biogeotechnics, and geotechnical sustainability. Jason has developed or refined several in

situ, laboratory, and modeling tools as well as data quality and correction methods, to

improve the characterization of difficult soils – soft sediments, intermediate soils, tailings,

and gravelly soils. Results from his research program have been disseminated through more

than 250 publications. His contributions have been recognized through the ASTM

International Hogentogler Award (2x), ICE TK Hsieh Prize, ASCE Huber Research Prize, ASCE

Casagrande Professional Development Award, Prakash Research Award, ICE Telford

Premium Prize, ASCE Prakash Award, and as an ASCE Fellow. Jason is actively engaged with

industry in implementing research advancements into practice and serving as a technical

reviewer for large infrastructure projects.
