John Christian delivered the 39th Terzaghi Lecture at the 2003 ASCE Convention in Nashville, TN. His lecture was titled "Geotechnical Engineering Reliability: How Well Do We Know What We Are Doing?" This version of the lecture was recorded October 29, 2004 at Texas A&M University. This lectureship was established by the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division (now the Geo-Institute) of the Society by the solicitation of gifts from the many friends and admirers of Karl Terzaghi, Hon.M.ASCE. It was instituted by the Board of Direction on October 10, 1960. At about yearly intervals and upon recommendation of the Geo-Institute Board of Governors, the Executive Director will invite a distinguished engineer to deliver a "Terzaghi Lecture" at an appropriate meeting of the Society.
