Condolences

I just learned of the death of Dr. Richard Barksdale on Jan. 14 in Atlanta. Dr. Barksdale was a retired professor from the Georgia Institute of Technology whose research interests included aggregates, ground improvement techniques, settlement of buildings on residual soil, geosynthetic applications, pavement design and asphalt concrete. He was the editor of the first edition of NSSGA’s Aggregate Handbook, one of the industry's best reference sources. Condolences to the family of Dr. Barksdale. Your comment?
