A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The 1996 report uses the results of the most recent survey (1989-1995) to: assess the impact of the 1983 geotechnical improvement plan, identify successes and performance gap findings, refocus our mission and goals to improve future performance, and estimate the resources needed for program accomplishment during the next five years. The 1996 report contains 18 findings which were identified in the geotechnical related areas of organization, site investigation, laboratory testing, design practice, construction, and earth retaining structures. The 1996 organizational action plan for the geotechnical group focuses on customer needs and the current environment in which the geotechnical group functions. Mission, values, vision, and goals have been established to define the role of the FHWA geotechnical group in strengthening our customers. Finally the success of the National geotechnical group has been measured for the past two decades by techniques such as tracking achievement in major initiatives, documenting T(sup 2) implementation, conducting periodic customer surveys, tracking overall geotechnical input to customers, and in-house FHWA surveys of program effectiveness.
