What's new...
May 2008...Dr. Horvath had a feature article on using EPS-block geofoam in levee construction published in the American Society of Civil Engineers' (ASCE's) monthly membership magazine "Civil Engineering". This is an edited and updated version of the technical paper he had published in the proceedings of the ASCE GeoCongress 2008 conference held in March 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The original paper attracted such considerable interest in a short period of time that ASCE wanted to make it available to a wider audience ("Civil Engineering" has more than 100,000 primary readers).
