Sarah Gassman
Associate Professor
Dr. Gassman specializes in geotechnical engineering. Her research interests are
multidisciplinary in nature and currently include projects focused on non-destructive
evaluation of foundations and bridge structures; the effect of soil aging on liquefaction
potential; field performance of culvert pipe and behavior of embankment fill materials.
Dr. Gassman is a member of the ASCE Geo-Institute Deep Foundations Technical Committee
and the TRB AFS04 Subsurface Soil Structure Interaction Technical Committee. She
is a former member of the USUCGER Board of Directors, where she served as Treasurer.
