Terzaghi Award
The Terzaghi Award is an award for geotechnical engineering given by the Geo Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) . It is named after Karl von Terzaghi . It has generally been given in odd-numbered years since 1963. It is awarded for "outstanding, sustainable contributions to geotechnical engineering in the USA" (for outstanding, continuous contributions to the field of geotechnical engineering in the United States), based on the award winner's publications. In addition to a plaque, it comes with a prize money of $ 1,000.
Independent of the Terzaghi Award, there is the Terzaghi Lecture of the ASCE and the Vienna Terzaghi Lecture .
