附：第七届钱家欢岩土工程学术报告人简介：
Professor Kenji Ishihara was born in Tokyo, Japan in April 1934. Having graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1957, he went on to complete his PhD there in 1963. After a period of research at the University of Illinois under the advice of Professor R.B. Peck, he returned to the post of Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo at the age of 32. In 1977 he took up the position of Professor of Civil Engineering and remained at the University of Tokyo for 40 years. During this time he was active in the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering (ISSMFE). He was particularly effective in advancing the work of Technical Committee TC4 – Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and in establishing the new discipline of earthquake geotechnology. His work with ISSMFE culminated in his appointment as President of the Society for the term 1997-2001.
Professor Ishihara was the 1993 Rankine Lecturer delivering “Liquefaction and Flow Failures During Earthquakes” and the Terzaghi orator at the time of the 14th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. He was the recipient of H.B. Seed Medal in 1998 from A.S.C.E. and several other eponymous lecturers. He has published over 230 technical papers and three books in Japanese. He has travelled as a consultant and lectured widely throughout the world.
