Team: M.I.T. Personnel Qualifications Herbert H. Einstein Dipl. Ing., 1960 Eidgenoessische Hochschule (ETH) Zurich, Switzerland Sc.D., 1966, ETH Prof. Einstein is the leader of the Rock Mechanics/Engineering Geology Group, described in Section 6.3. He has published over 100 papers in these areas and in tunneling, and he consults worldwide in tunneling, rock engineering and landslide risk analysis. His specialty in the rock mechanics area is the characterization of rock fracture regarding geometry, hydraulics and mechanics. His research interests include both fundamental rock behavior and in engineering applications. This has led to a number of approaches in the design and risk analysis area. He is co-editor of Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering and is on the editorial boards of Engineering Geology , Numerical Methods in Geosciences , and Underground Space. He is currently serving on the U.S. National Committee on Rock Mechanics of the National Academy of Sciences as well as on the Commission for Rock Joints of the International Society for Rock Mechanics. Selected Publications“Stochastic Analysis of Surface Roughness, Aperture, and Flow in a Single Fracture” (with M. Awano), Proceedings EurRock ‘93, “Modern Developments in Discontinuity Analysis, the Persistence-Connectivity Problem”, v. 3, Chapter 9, Comprehensive Rock Engineering, (J. Hudson, E. Brown, C. Fairhurst, E. Hoek, eds.) Pergamon 1993. |
