Oregon State University Civil and Construction Engineering students Andrew Strahler (PhD) and Trevor Bineham (undergrad) won first-place in the Geo-prediction contest at the annual ASCE Geo-Congress in Atlanta, Ga.

The student competition was sponsored by the Geo-Institute to challenge and encourage undergraduate and graduate civil engineering students interested in geotechnical engineering.

As part of the contest, Strahler and Bineham were tasked with predicting the behavior of a real world geotechnical system.
