About

finite strain consolidation

The FSCA software and Bright Beacon Geotechnical Consulting Division are led by Silawat Jeeravipoolvarn (Song), Ph.D., P.Eng. Dr. Jeeravipoolvarn is a practicing engineer as well as researcher in geotechnical-tailings engineering. His research is focused on slurry characterization and dewatering behaviour. He published several technical papers on this topic, and served as a reviewer for several referred international journals.
