The Next Century of Soil Mechanics Starts Now
On May 2, 1925, Karl Terzaghi coined the term "Soil Mechanics" with the publication of Erdbaumechanik, laying the foundation for modern geotechnical engineering. Exactly 100 years later, we are building the future of soil mechanics with Terzaghi AI, honoring his legacy by advancing the field.
Terzaghi AI is an applied research lab working on automating soil mechanics. Our approach is to build the geotechnical engineer of the future: a human-AI hybrid that is an order of magnitude more effective than any one engineer.
This hybrid engineer will have effortless control over complex soil behavior models, eliminating tedious calculations and enabling faster, more accurate geotechnical insights. They will iterate at the speed of their judgment—whether in foundation design, slope stability, or earthquake engineering. Using a combination of AI and human expertise, they will out-think and out-engineer conventional approaches.
We are a group of researchers and engineers building the software and models that push the boundaries of geotechnical engineering. Our work is shaping the future of soil mechanics, just as Karl Terzaghi did a century ago.
If this excites you, we'd love to hear from you.
