About Us
Founder / Principal Engineer
Stephen
Dickenson, Ph.D., P.E., D. PE, founded New Albion Geotechnical, Inc. in 2008,
where he serves as President and Principal Engineer. Dr. Dickenson has been
active in geotechnical engineering research, education, and professional
practice since 1985. His international consulting and applied research have
focused primarily on geotechnical earthquake engineering applications for maritime
and surface transportations systems, lifeline networks, tall buildings, and major
civil works.
Dr.
Dickenson actively participates on professional committees charged with
developing seismic guidelines for port waterfront structures and lifelines
infrastructure, with incorporation of performance-based design principles.
These efforts have contributed to numerous consulting projects and multi-year
research efforts on dynamic site response, liquefaction susceptibility of sands
and silt deposits, seismic slope stability, and dynamic
soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI). He has also led several
post-earthquake reconnaissance investigations that focused on ports, harbors,
coastal infrastructure, and major bridges (e.g., 1989 Loma Prieta, 1995 Kobe,
2001 Nisqually, 2007 Kashiwazaki, and 2011 Tohoku earthquakes), and served as
project advisor on numerous post-earthquake seismic performance and forensic
investigations.
Dr.
Dickenson is a licensed Professional Civil Engineer (Oregon, California,
Nevada, Washington), and a Board Certified Professional as Diplomate of Port
Engineering (D. PE), ACOPNE.
A
partial bibliography of technical papers addressing geotechnical earthquake
engineering topics and seismic performance assessment, seismic guidelines,
standards, and codes is provided below.
As
Senior Consultant and Peer Reviewer on major civil works projects Dr. Dickenson
diligently works with the design teams to facilitate efficient and high-quality
engineering, innovation, and positive outcomes in the best interest of the
client and public at-large.
