Okay, well maybe not a “mastered thesis defense”, but at least the Masters thesis has been defended! Kristi K. Bumpas, PE, LEED AP, Red Rock Consulting’s President and Project Engineer, defended her Masters thesis on Monday, April 16, 2012.
The project was under the direction of Garry H. Gregory, PhD, PE, DGE, adjunct professor at Oklahoma State University and Principal Consultant of Gregory Geotechnical. The thesis paper was entitled “Post-Peak Fully-Softened Strength and Curved Strength Envelope in Shallow Slope Failure Analysis”. Other commitee members included Stephen Cross, PhD, PE and M. Phil Lewis, PhD, PE, both Oklahoma State University professors.

Red Rock Consulting was recently hired to determine the bearing capacity of existing footings within the basement of an existing building. This was accomplished with a core machine, a hand-held water pump, a shop vac and a dynamic cone penetrometer. Oh, and 3 guys with muscles. It was messy, but we got the job done and made a friend in the process!

Red Rock Consulting and Drilling Services of Oklahoma (DSO) recently completed the geotechnical investigation for the widening of the Interstate 35 bridge over the Canadian River in Norman, Oklahoma. Due to the company’s summer workload, additional help was needed to keep all of Red Rock’s projects on schedule. The help came by way of our friend, Robel Gibbe, EI, who stepped in and performed field work to ease the workload.
The field investigation for this project took approximately 3 weeks in the middle of the hottest Oklahoma summer on record. Let’s all hope Robel will rejoin us soon!
