Fernando Cuenca, <br />Dr. Cuenca's experience in the field of geotechnical engineering includes <br />research on the stability of reinforced embankments incorporating <br />coupled analysis including pore water pressures in unsaturated <br />soils and water flow movement with slope deformations, using finite <br />element formulations. Mr. Cuenca also worked extensively in the <br />implementation of LITEXAS software for slope stability analysis, and <br />to study applications for reinforced soils. He has worked extensively <br />in the design of foundations for several types of structures including <br />Water Treatment Plants, Power Plants, Communication Towers, <br />Bridges and Highways. He has worked in Christchurch, New Zealand <br />after the devastation caused by the series of earthquakes in 2010 <br />and 2011, where he designed seismic resistant foundations for over <br />1000 dwellings located in different geological strata. He also has <br />significant experience in doing liquefaction assessments and evaluating <br />geologic hazards in highly seismic zones, and has experience in the <br />design of mitigation measures to minimize the impact of adverse <br />conditions in seismic prone areas, including the design of different <br />ground improvement techniques. He also has experience in numerical <br />modelling using finite element software, PLAXIS, and slope stability <br />modelling using GEOSLOPE. <br />Bolivar Park, City of Lakewood. Project Engineer in charge of <br />the geotechnical design of an underground stormwater infiltration <br />and storage facility using precast reinforced concrete units with their <br />associated hydraulic structures and conveyance systems. Provided <br />recommendations for the design of the shoring system for the deep <br />excavations at the site and monitored construction and performance of <br />the shoring system using solider piles and steel plates. Performed all the <br />infiltration testing required for the design of the infiltration facilities at the <br />Mayfair Park, City of Lakewood. Project Engineer in charge of the <br />evaluation of the infiltration characteristics of the subsurface materials <br />and the geotechnical design of stormwater storage system. In addition, <br />a field feasibility study was conducted to study the possibility of using <br />injection wells at the site. Performed the infiltration testing to assess the <br />suitability of the site. <br />Carriage Crest Park, City of Carson. Project Engineer in charge of <br />the geotechnical design of a large underground stormwater storage tank, <br />shoring design, and pipeline conveyance design. <br />ITETRA TECH <br />
