Every summer, ASCE highlights “beach reads” for civil engineers to take on vacation with them.
But with the coronavirus pandemic altering how the world works, it seemed useful to put together a similar list this spring – if not to enjoy at the beach, reading material for the civil engineer who is isolating at home, staying healthy and seeking to stay informed.
Here are seven great...
In civil engineering design, sustainability is too important to merely be implied or suggested.
So, ASCE’s Committee on Sustainability is creating a performance-based, life-cycle sustainable infrastructure standard.
The committee’s Standards Executive Committee has been developing “Standard Requirements for Sustainable Infrastructure” for nearly a year, aiming to have an innovative and essential industry standard ready for use in 2021.
“As we move toward a civil engineering industry that’s...
ASCE has honored Katepalli R. Sreenivasan, Ph.D., NAE, with the 2020 Theodore von Karman Medal for his lasting scientific contributions to diverse fluid dynamical topics, from cryogenics to solar convection, especially the dynamics and mixing of turbulence in laboratory, computational and terrestrial flows, and his vast impact on scholarship, scientific development and education in many countries.
Sreenivasan has contributed profusely to the fundamental understanding of...
For the second time since the crisis began, ASCE members participated in the “COVID-19 Impact and Implementation Survey,” compiled by Industry Insights to assess and understand the business effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
The latest survey results show an economy coming to grips with the challenges this crisis is presenting.
Eighty-one percent of respondents reported experiencing a negative financial impact, compared with 52 percent in the...
ASCE has honored Qiu-Sheng Li, Ph.D., M.ASCE, with the 2020 Robert H. Scanlan Medal for his outstanding contributions to wind engineering and structural mechanics, from fundamental research to engineering applications.
Li has contributed superbly to wind engineering, industrial aerodynamics and structural mechanics in comportment with the requirements of the Scanlan Medal. He was involved in numerous wind engineering and structural dynamic studies on major building...
ASCE has honored Glaucio H. Paulino, Ph.D., F.EMI, M.ASCE, with the 2020 Raymond D. Mindlin Medal for pioneering contributions to the field of mechanics, including geometric mechanics associated to origami and tensegrity engineering, which led to the creation of multifunctional structures and configurational metamaterials with unprecedented properties.
Paulino has made numerous seminal contributions in a variety of areas in the mechanics and physics of solids...
ASCE has honored Yozo Fujino, Ph.D., with the 2020 George W. Housner Structural Control and Monitoring Medal for pioneering research in the development and implementation of structural monitoring and control systems in large-scale structures, as well as for his commitment to developing innovative education programs for students.
Fujino has made groundbreaking contributions to the field of structural control and monitoring, particularly with respect to structures...
ASCE has honored Dan M. Frangopol, Sc.D., P.E., F.SEI, F.EMI, Dist.M.ASCE, with the 2020 Alfred M. Freudenthal Medal for outstanding contributions to the advancement of probabilistic, reliability and risk methods in civil engineering, particularly in developing probabilistic models for life-cycle performance assessment, maintenance and optimum management of civil infrastructure systems in diverse loading environments.
Frangopol has made seminal scholarly contributions of lasting value to the...
