Site Investigations: A Guide (available in Geoenvironmental Special Issue only)
A geotechnical engineer looks at the evolution of reports on subsurface conditions, the most uncertain portion of construction. Most of the cost and risk of construction occurs beneath...
All Decked Out
After 50 years of wear, the deck of New York City's Williamsburg Bridge was buckling and badly in need of replacement. In 1994, consultants recommended replacing the deck...
Automatic Savings
Long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) costs of environmental remediation systems often dwarf engineering and remedial construction costs, but they don's have...
High-Tech Text
ASCE is involved in two high-tech initiatives that will bring information to engineers in new ways. An interactive textbook for fluid mechanics courses incorporates many advanced visual...
Defusing the Millennium Bomb
On January 1, 2000, some date-sensitive computer systems may interpret the year as 1900, wiping out or altering data or crashing altogether. Richard L. Bland was put in charge of assessing...
Freeway to the Future
A new network model is emerging introducing a new step between servers and desktops: middleware servers with querying software. The new network architecture, combined with the use of both...
Riding the Technology Wave
Computer hardware and software is getting faster, more powerful and more affordable. At the same time, the way in which engineers use the equipment is varying. Identifying costs and benefits...

Not Your Father's Strain Gauge
A new type of strain gauge incorporates smart memory methods to assess changes in structures. Inexpensive, easy to install and durable, these gauges are passive peak strain sensors, which...
Shoring Up Lake Shore Drive
A $101 million roadway relocation project in Chicago, winner of a 1998 Outstanding Civil Engineering Award (OCEA) of Merit, reunited the north- and southbound lanes of Lake Shore Drive...
The San Francisco Connection
An underground switchyard and storage facility for San Francisco's Municipal Railway challenged the limits of both cut-and-cover and tunneling in loose soil. The project was...
Putting Wetlands to Work
Wetlands, whether natural or engineered, have enormous potential to clean up wastewater, but in the past, the public called on civil engineers to drain wetlands en masse as a public benefit....
