Uploaded At: 01 May 2024

The engineer Antônio José da Costa Nunes, president of ABMS from 1952 to 1954, was one of the names chosen to represent Brazilian geotechnics at Time Capsule Project. Costa Nunes was one of the greatest geotechnical engineers and the first to use anchors on the ground.

Time Capsule Project is an initiative of International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) to tell the story of international geotechnics. Besides, the project aims at bringing up the collective experience of the member societies and promote the debate.

The initiative intends to bring together the past, the present and the future of international geotechnical engineering in one place. In addition to encourage each society to remember its own history.
