Once again we asked our membership to tell us which topics you were interested in learning about for our annual Spring Seminar. The vote counts were very close for several topics including geotechnical earthquake engineering, drilled foundations, and instrumentation. The board voted and instrumentation was the selected topic for the 2014 Spring Seminar.
