Geotechnics of Roads: Fundamentals (ePub)

Bernardo Caicedo obtained his undergraduate degree in civil engineering at the Universidad del Cauca, Colombia in 1985. He obtained his doctoral degree at L'Ecole Centrale de Paris in 1991 with a thesis carried out at the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussées. The subject of his dissertation was the study of water migration in pavements under freezing and thawing.

He joined the University of Los Andes in Colombia in 1991. He has been involved in teaching, research, as well as in the development of advanced laboratory facilities such as geotechnical centrifuges, a climatic chamber and two hollow cylinder apparatuses for testing granular materials and asphalt mixtures.

His research activities cover a broad spectrum of areas in geotechnical engineering: soil dynamics, unsaturated soils, physical modelling, granular materials, climatic interactions in pavements, and the study of the mechanical behavior of multi-phase soils including chemical and biological interactions. His research efforts have allowed him to publish more than 150 journal and conference papers.

Bernardo Caicedo is a member of the editorial panel of several international journals, and he participates in technical comities of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering ISSMGE working on transportation geotechnics, unsaturated soil mechanics, and physical modelling.
