Doug Honegger Research Scientist

---

Mr. Honegger is a Research Scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles. He received a Master of Science degree from the University of Illinois in 1981 and has over 40 years of experience related to understanding the response of structures, structural components and equipment to extreme loading resulting from earthquake hazards, blast, and impact. His work has covered a wide range of applications in the defense, nuclear power, energy, and utility sectors. Since 1995, he has been in business as a sole proprietor operating as D.G. Honegger Consulting, specializing in assessing the response of buried pipelines to permanent ground displacement generated by a wide variety of natural geohazards and underground mining activities. His work experience encompasses site specific pipeline evaluations for new and existing pipeline installations as well as experimental research in field and laboratory settings. He participated in the preparation of the first comprehensive guideline for the seismic design of oil and gas pipeline systems in 1984 and has led the efforts to develop current industry guidelines for the design of natural gas and liquid hydrocarbon transmission pipelines for hazards related to earthquakes, landslides, and subsidence. Since 2015, he has been a guest lecturer for an introductory pipeline engineering course offered in the fall at the University of British Columbia, Canada.
