Principal's Resumes: Duncan C. Wyllie is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, the University of New South Wales, Australia and the University of London. He specializes in rock engineering and has worked in this field for 37 years. During this time, he has been involved in a wide variety of railway, highway and industrial development projects in North and South America, Asia and the Middle East. Typical assignments include the design and construction of slopes and tunnels, foundations of bridges and dams, and the study of landslides. On many of these projects, the design and evaluation of blasting procedures was an important part of the work. Duncan has lectured widely, conducted training courses in rock slope engineering, and has written a number of textbooks on rock mechanics. He is the author of the books Foundations on Rock 1st and 2nd editions), Rock Slope Engineering (4th edition) with Chris Mah, and is a co-author of Landslides - Investigation and Mitigation (Transportation Research Board). Norman I. Norrish has more than 30 years of experience in the application of rock mechanics to mining, transportation, and civil construction projects. His rock slope engineering experience includes site investigations, design, hazard evaluation, remedial stabilization, and construction monitoring for projects on behalf of state and Federal highway agencies throughout the western United States. He has managed geotechnical investigations, design and construction rehabilitation projects for numerous rail, highway and pedestrian tunnels ranging in length from tens of meters to several kilometers. Rock foundation projects have included abutment stability evaluations for rail and highway bridges, stabilization design for an unstable railroad bridge pier founded on steeply dipping metamorphic bedrock, and footing and shaft design for a highway viaduct on the Oregon Coast.
