Pokémon Go was downloaded over 10 million mes within the first week of release and broke all previous
records by unforeseeable margins. Without a doubt, this virtual creature catching, childhood reimagining,
augmented reality, mobile phone, video game has created a social phenomenon and is one of the most
successful mobile games ever created.
Do not be alarmed, this ar cle is not about Pokémon Go. However, there does exist a rela onship between
civil engineering and Pokémon; explana on to follow. As many avid Pokémon Go players know by now, there is
an amazing spot in Santa Monica with dozens of Pokéstops, hundreds of Pokémon, and thousands of people
crowded together all playing the same game. This “Poképaradise” in the ocean just happens to be the world
famous Santa Monica Pier, which most definitely did not build itself.
Santa Monica Pier was not always the a rac on we know today and has had its share of ups and downs. It was
first built in the early 20th century to solve the sewage disposal problem of the City of Santa Monica. The plan
was to build a 1600‐foot long Municipal Pier with a pipeline running underneath to transport and dispose the
treated sewage out to the Pacific Ocean. Due to the local sea condi ons, a concrete pier design was chosen
rather than the tradi onal wooden piles. This made Santa Monica Pier (called Municipal Pier at that me) the
first concrete pier on the West Coast of the United States.
The story does not end there. The concrete pier par ally collapsed in 1919, when a sizable crowd gathered

on the pier to welcome the ba leship USS Texas and cruiser USS Prairie. It was determined that rust had
weakened the pier’s concrete piles. The piles were eventually replaced with creosote‐treated wooden piles
during a closure from 1919 to 1921. Creosote is used to prevent the decay of wood and the destruc on by
marine organisms. These creosote‐treated wooden piles were able to last un l a storm arrived in 1983. Over
one‐third of the Pier was completely destroyed. Plans were prepared to make the pier stronger by using the
latest technology of concrete pilings (improved since 1909). Construc on lasted three years from 1987 to 1990.
A er the restora on, Santa Monica Pier would become the modern na onal icon it is known as today.
This 107 year old historic landmark currently supports an 85 foot tall ferris wheel, a 44 horse carousel, an
aquarium displaying 37 different oceanic species, a fully modern arcade, 14 restaurants, 7 retail shops, and over
8,000 people. So the next me you’re catching that wiley Pikachu, slippery Squirtle, or frustra ngly rare
Dragonite, you might no ce an engineering feat right under your feet.

Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils Seminar
Monday September 19, 2016 Holiday Inn, Ontario Airport
Mr. Geoff Chao, Ph.D., P.E. Mr. Daniel Overton., P.E.
Co-Authors of the book Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils
Foundations on expansive soil sites are one of the most challenging problems facing builders, engineers, and building owners today. Many of the problems result from failure to identify expansive soils on the sites, inadequate design and construction, use of inappropriate foundation systems, and/or improper construction practices. Damage to structures and infrastructure due to problem soils is a billion-dollar issue. Increasing basic knowledge of soils engineering is the key to identifying design and construction defects for structures on expansive soils beyond the common methods utilized for expansive soils within Southern California. The seminar is intended to provide geotechnical, structural, construction engineers, engineering geologists, and students with the tools necessary to design foundations to limit damage due to heaving or shrinkage of expansive soils. The presenters will discuss the types and nature of expansive soil, how to identify expansive soil, and how to estimate total and differential heave for in-situ soils from intact samples, as well as for fill soils from evaluation of results from remolded samples. The presenters will discuss reasons for distress caused by heaving or shrinkage of expansive soils and how to design appropriate foundation systems for these conditions. Attendees will learn how to determine the heave index property of a soil, the swelling pressure from expansive soils, and the magnitude of heave due to causes other than those of seasonal climatic changes for soils in a fully- or partially-saturated moisture condition.
About the Seminar Instructors:
Geoff Chao, Ph.D., P.E, Senior Geotechnical Engineer – Dr. Chao has over 20 years of geotechnical and construction engineering experience and is currently a Vice President at Engineering Analytics, Inc. Serving in the roles of Project Manager and Project Engineer, Dr. Chao has extensive experience in the areas of construction and design defect investigations, construction remediation and mitigation, geotechnical and reclamation engineering design, and construction oversight experience on a diversity of projects. His technical specialties include expansive and collapsible soils evaluation, foundation design and construction for residential and commercial buildings, retaining wall investigation, landslide investigation, settlement and consolidation analyses, and seepage and groundwater modeling. Dr. Chao is an Adjunct Professor at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado where he has taught foundation engineering within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dr. Chao is the co-author of a book titled “Foundation Engineering for
Expansive Soils.” He has authored over 40 technical papers, many of them dealing with structures on problematic soils. Daniel D. Overton, P.E, Principal Geotechnical Engineer – Mr. Overton is a Principal Geotechnical Engineer for, and a shareholder of, Engineering Analytics, Inc. He received a Bachelors of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University in 1985, and a Masters of Science degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Geotechnical Engineering from UCLA in 1988. He has 30 years of geotechnical and forensic engineering experience on a diversity of projects. Mr. Overton has extensive experience in forensic studies of foundations in clay soil and claystone bedrock. Mr. Overton has served as the Project Engineer or Project Manager for public works projects, expansive soils design, forensic studies, foundation design for commercial and mid-rise buildings, residential and master planned communities, and geotechnical instrumentation. Mr. Overton is a Fellow of ASCE and is an Adjunct Professor at Colorado State University, having served on various thesis and dissertation committees, and is the Committee Chair of the Tailings and Mine Waste Conference. Mr. Overton is also a member of the Post-Tensioning Institutes DC-10 Slab-On-Ground committee, and is a licensed Professional Engineer in eighteen States. Mr. Overton has written approximately 50 technical papers addressing multiple aspects of geotechnical engineering, and is a co-author of the text book titled “Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils”.
