Terzaghi Lecture

Die Terzaghi Lecture sind eine seit 1963 jährlich vergebene, mit einer Vorlesung verbundene Ehrung der American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) für den Bereich Geotechnik. Sie sind nach Karl von Terzaghi benannt. Die Vorlesung wird auf dem jährlichen Treffen der ASCE gehalten. Die Vorträge werden in der Zeitschrift für Geotechnik der ASCE (der Name wechselte im Laufe der Jahre, heutiger Name: Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering der ASCE) veröffentlicht.

Die Vorlesung ist vom Terzaghi Award der ASCE und der Vienna Terzaghi Lecture zu unterscheiden.
