Since its founding in 1867, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has earned a reputation as a world-class leader in research, teaching, and public engagement.

Academic resources on campus are among the finest in the world. The University Library is one of the largest public university collections in the world with 11 million volumes in its 37 unit libraries. Annually, 53,000,000 people visit its online catalog. Students have access to thousands of computer terminals in classrooms, residence halls, and campus libraries for use in classroom instruction, study, and research.

Also integral to the University’s mission is a commitment to public engagement. Each year about 65,000 Illinois residents participate in scores of conferences, institutes, courses, and workshops presented statewide. Research and class projects take students and professors off campus to share expertise and technical support with Illinois farmers, manufacturing firms, and businesses. In a typical year, student volunteers log more than 60,000 volunteer hours.

Research Overview:

Dr. Long has research interests focused on soil-structure interaction such as behavior of axially and laterally loaded foundations, use of load test database for reliability-based design, earthquake engineering, mechanically stabilized earth and earth support systems, and ground improvement methods and their effect on structures. He is actively involved in conducting both field and model-scale tests for foundations and excavations.
