Merit Engineering, Inc., founded in 1993, is a growing engineering consulting firm full of vigor and vitality. We have a strong expertise and are specialized in geotechnical and environmental engineering. We offer full scale geotechnical engineering, soil laboratory and field testing, geological engineering, hydrogeology, and environmental services.
Dr. Huang, president and principal of the firm, has strong expertise and extensive research and consulting experience in geotechnical and geological engineering. He holds 14 research publications including four in the world leading research journals. The most recent paper is about poro-elastic theoretical model for hydraulic fracturing in-situ stress measurement. The paper has been collected into the Society for Mining Engineering's permanent literature. The paper has presented the new model through review of the history of the model development in the field of poro-elasticity and effective stresses. Huang's model made significant contribution to rock mechanics both in understanding of effective stresses in saturated porous medium and in understanding of the effect of rock anisotropy on pore pressure and effective stresses. He also served as technical paper peer reviewer for International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Testing Journal. He is an Adjunct Faculty Member at Western Washington University and opened "Soil Mechanics" and "Slope Stability" courses. He has extensive consulting experience in the area of Western Washington State and knows glacial geology and soils well. He conducts and manages all the engineering aspects of Merit's projects in order to maintain a high level of quality control, and provides final review on the projects so as to assure a quality that is consistent with the standard of care in the industry.
