Dr. Vesga has over 25 years of professional experience in civil, geotechnical,
and environmental engineering. As a president, vice-president, senior project
manager, and senior geotechnical engineer, Dr. Vesga has led multi-disciplinary
groups of engineers, geologists, technicians, and administrative personnel, and
has been responsible for planning, management, consulting, and execution of
civil engineering projects. Dr. Vesga has participated in projects for private
and public sector clients and geotechnical engineering academic activities for
universities and professional associations. The professional activities
included analysis and design of deep and shallow foundations, slope stability
and stabilization, ground stabilization, design of underpinning and repairing
of existing foundations, braced, cantilevered, tieback, soil nail, and
mechanically supported retaining walls and excavations, structures for ports
and harbors; evaluation of liquefaction potential, geotechnical seismic design,
and site specific seismic evaluation, evaluation of geotechnical hazard and
risk analysis for major cities; design of pavements for roads, airfields, and
ports; design of geotechnical site investigations and laboratory programs,
design, monitoring, and interpretation of static and dynamic geotechnical
instrumentation for structures; execution of field inspections, and provision
of geotechnical services during construction; expert in numerical analysis
using finite element, finite difference, and discrete element methods; expert
in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), database design and management and web
map distribution applied to geo-hazard and environmental analyses for roadways,
pipelines, landfills, and populated areas. The academic activities of Dr. Vesga
included teaching of geotechnical engineering courses and lecturing in
geotechnical international conferences. Dr. Vesga is author of several
geotechnical articles published in international journals and conference
proceedings.
