1. 引言

Jennings J.E.是岩土工程的先驱人物，对南非以及整个岩土工程学科发展作出了突出贡献。Jennings早年在南非大学毕业后赴哈佛大学求学，受教于现代土力学的鼻祖Terzaghi 和 Casagrande，硕士毕业后返回到南非，在南非金山大学(University of Witwatersrand)担任教授。Jennings的研究工作对岩土工程领域产生了深远影响，为此，国际土力学与岩土工程学会在其网站上专门开辟了《J. E. Jennings Publications》专栏，收集了Jennings的17篇土力学论文。根据《计算岩土力学》GeotechSet数据集的统计发现，Jennings的这篇论文最有影响力，至今仍被许多论文引用：

Jennings, J.E., Burland, J.B., (1962) Limitations to the use of effective stresses in partly saturated soils. Geotechnique, 12, 125–144. 【检查和评价土的有效应力(Evaluate the effective stress of soil)】

2. Jennings对岩桥的贡献

Jennings的主要研究方向是土力学，或许是受南非采矿业的影响，有一段非常短暂的时间他转到岩石力学，令人惊奇的是，这个短暂的研究成就了岩石力学的经典，开创了后来半个世纪的"岩桥"研究。土力学专业仅强调了Jennings对土力学作出的贡献，几乎完全忽略了他对岩石力学的贡献，但事实上他对岩石力学的影响力远远超过他对土力学的影响力。

Jennings对岩石力学的贡献体现在如下4篇论文：

[1] Jennings, J.E., Steffen, O.K.K. (1967) The analysis of the stability of slopes in deep opencast mines.

[2] Jennings , J. E., and Robertson, A. M., (1969) The Stability of Slopes Cut into Natural Rock.

[3] Jennings, J. E. (1970) A Mathematical Theory for the Calculation of the Stability of Slopes in Open Cast Mines. （最高引的论文）

[4] Jennings, J.E. (1972) An approach to the stability of rock slopes based on the theory of limiting equilibrium with a material exhibiting anisotropic shear strength.

3. Jennings纪念讲座

Jennings纪念讲座(Jennings Memorial Lecture)是由南非土木工程协会(SAICE)岩土工程分会组织的每年一次的系列讲座，邀请岩土工程领域的著名专业人士演讲，以纪念为南非以及整个岩土工程学科作出杰出贡献的先驱人物Jennings, J.E.。Jennings纪念讲座的(1)~(5)很难找到相关资料。
