Serge Leroueil

Serge Leroueil (born July 11, 1948 ) is a Canadian civil engineer and geotechnician . He is a professor at Laval University in Quebec.

Leroueil received his doctorate from Laval University in 1977 (Quelques considerations sur le comportement des argiles sensibles).

Among other things, he deals with geotechnical problems with embankments on soft clay as a foundation and the stability of embankments, particularly with regard to the sensitive, slip-sensitive marine clays that are widespread in Canada, Alaska, Russia and Scandinavia due to land uplifts after the Ice Age and are a major factor there -Represent building ground risk. In addition, he investigates the basic rheological and soil mechanical properties of such and other soils, including triaxial tests and computer modeling using the discrete element method.

In 1999 he was a Rankine Lecturer ( Natural slopes and cuts: movement and failure mechanisms ). In 2004 he was elected to the Academy of Science of the Royal Society of Canada .
