FEATURED AUTHOR
Wei Dong Guo
I am an engineer and an educator in geotechnical engineering, and offshore engineering. I am also involved in pavement/mining engineering. We develop novel solutions to real-world problems in consistent and scientific manner, and endeavour to provide our solutions in compact form (underpinned by few parameters) to facilitate students' learning and engineers' use
Biography
EducationI earned my BEng in civil engineering from Hohai University (in 1984), MEng in geotechnical engineering from Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology, China (in 1987), and a PhD from the University of Western Australia (in 1997).

I have developed one boundary element program (GASGROUP), one finite element program, and a few spreadsheet programs (GASLgroup, GASLFP, GASMove, GASLRP, VECP) for modelling nonlinear response of piles. As a sole or leading author, I have published a number of rigorous models and theories for sophisticated response of piles in high-impact international journals.
