LONG CITATION
Suzanne Lacasse has made original contributions to the advancement of knowledge on offshore platforms in the North Sea under cyclic loading and has shown how theoretical and experimental information on cyclic behaviour of soils can be used in the design of such platforms. Her original oft-cited contributions relate to behaviour of soft clays and sands, the effects of erosion on offshore platform foundations, design methods for offshore foundations under cyclic loading, and risk assessment in geotechnical analysis. She has also been a dynamic leader of the world-renowned Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) for the past 14 years.
