Planning and Financing Transport—Where Civil Engineers Fit in
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)It is contended that there is no need for a general strategy towards transport infrastructure, since expenditure on infrastructure is simply a subset of expenditure in the transport system as a whole. Transport policy is ... -
Transportation and Civil Engineers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Infracture needs are growing and are dominated by transportation requirements. About 70 percent of the urgent needs are accounted for by highways and bridges. Civil engineers must take a concerted approach including ... -

Geotechnical Engineering in the 21st Century
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Geotechnical engineering was established as a formal discipline in the 1920s, with a focus on the large projects of the latter stages of the industrial revolution. In the intervening years since the 1920s, the field has ... -
Structures Beyond Tomorrow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Presented in chronological order is a brief overview of some anticipated notable achievements in the 21st century regarding buildings and bridges constructed around the world. Numerous large scale structures are expected ... -
Advancing Structural Plastics into the Future
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A state‐of‐the‐art background including the role of ASCE over the past 25 years is presented. During this time fiber‐reinforced plastics (FRP) have been used effectively in civil engineering facilities such as pipes, water ... -
Civil Engineering into the 21st Century
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)This paper considers the supply and demand for graduates in civil engineering. It is written from the British viewpoint for statistics and trends facing Britain and Europe. The writer, however, has worked for a number of ... -
Channel Tunnel Project
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The Channel Tunnel project to link Great Britain and France has been under consideration since the 19th century. Several attempts have been made, but until recently no project had been supported sufficiently to ensure ... -
Civil Engineers in Space
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Since the earliest times, civil engineers have been building the infrastructure which has supported the advances known as called civilization. The exploration and development of space offers the broadly and well‐trained ... -
Structural and Construction Engineering in Japan in the Immediate Past, Present, and Future
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Construction of large‐scale structures is remarkable in Japan, though it is still much behind the U.S. Computer use and program review systems have been developed, including personal computers. The recent increase of ... -
Future Civil Engineering in Seismic Zones
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)This paper discusses the problem of cities organizing to prepare for earthquakes. Design methods to provide buildings with greater resistance are described. Civil engineering recommendations included in the Mexico City ... -
Drinking Water Policy in the United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop regulations that limit the level of contaminants in public drinking waters. The 1986 amendments to the Safe Drinking ... -
Surveying and Mapping Beyond 2000
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Two areas that demand major research commitments include real‐time surveying and mapping systems and geographic data bases. Future developments in these areas are vital to the computer integration of engineering processes, ... -
The Role of Civil Engineering Research
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The construction industry, which is served by civil engineers, is the nation's largest industry, with revenues exceeding $400 billion annually. It is also a highly competitive and fragmented industry, whose participants ... -
Urban Transportation in the 21st Century
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The form of urban transportation in the 21st century is seen in the changes presently taking place in power and control technology and in the demands that suburban growth and urban renewal will place on existing and future ...
