Teague Sizemore
I have known Ashkaan since Fall of 2004 when we took a college level calculus class together. Since then Ashkaan has studied to become one of the most knowledgeable person I know in the geotechnical field. He has has the perseverance, and aptitude to not only go for his Master's, but his Doctorate as well, all while working practically full time. Ashkaan manages his time extremely well, is committed to the work that needs to be done, prioritizes his critical tasks, is directly responsible for revenue generation, knows where the bottom line is for the company's health. Ashkaan is currently active in engineering society groups, and networking. I would recommend Ashkaan as an excellent project partner, client, subcontractor, or any future management rolls.

Major focus has been on design and project management of public works, landfill, and environmental remediation projects. I have worked on projects with numerous cities, counties, water agencies, and federal goverment agencies including the Army Corps of Engineers. Some notable public works projects I have worked on include: Isabella Lake Dam Safety Modification, Soto St. Widening (City of LA), Casa Loma Siphon Barrel No. 1 Fault Crossing (MWD), Headworks Reservoir (LADWP), and 1st St. Viaduct over Glendale Blvd. (City of LA). I have performed design, construction management, and CQA on numerous landfill projects for Waste Management and other counties. Here is a list of the projects: -Phase 12 Liner, El Sobrante Landfill - 28 acres -Phase 11B Liner, El Sobrante Landfill -19.5 acres -Phase C1 & C2 Final Landfill Closure- 34 acres -Phase E6 through E9 Liner, Waimanalo Gulch Landfill, Hawaii, - 9 acres -Cell 1 Extension, Santa Maria Regional Landfill -Phase 5 Extension, Flathead Landfill, Montana Show less

Dec 2011 - Jan 2016
Centrifuge and finite element study of seismic response of shallow buried nonyielding stiff structures. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Headworks Reservoir Project. I managed and conducted a total of 25 centrifuge experiments using the 400-g ton centrifuge at the University of Colorado Boulder to evaluate the seismic performance of relatively stiff underground structures buried in granular soils. The structure stiffness, backfill soil type and slope, embedment, container type (rigid versus flexible boundaries), fixity conditions, and ground motion characteristics were varied to evaluate their influence and relative importance on structural performance. Three different model box structures were designed to represent simplified prototype reinforced concrete buried reservoirs of varying stiffness characterizing those evaluated by the LADWP. The proposed reservoirs have 11 to 12 m high walls that will be buried and restrained against rotational movement at the top and bottom by the roof and floor, restricting deformation. Additionally, the reservoir’s foundation can rock or slide laterally as it rests on soil. Show less
