Proceedings of the International Conference on Sustainable Development of Critical Infrastructure, held in Shanghai, China, May 16-18, 2014. Sponsored by the International Cooperation & Exchange Committee of the China Civil Engineering Society (CCES) and the Council on Disaster Risk Management of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Sustainable Development of Critical Infrastructure, CDRM 8, contains 4 keynote papers and 51 peer-reviewed technical papers intended to promote and review the technologies necessary to support the development of sustainable infrastructure systems worldwide. Specific applications of sustainable engineering practices to high-rise buildings, long-span bridges, urban transportation systems; and nuclear and electrical power facilities are discussed. Topics include: impacts and adaptation to climate change; reliability and risk management; life-cycle performance and cost; and the development of more sustainable construction materials. This proceedings will be of interest to practitioners, researchers, government engineers, and operational managers of infrastructure systems.

Proceedings of the 2011 Solutions to Coastal Disasters Conference, held in Anchorage, Alaska, June 25-29, 2011. Sponsored by the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and Federal Emergency Management Agency. This collection contains 79 papers that address the challenges and lessons that are being learned along the coastlines to avoid or minimize preventable losses. Topics include: sea-level rise and some emerging options for adaptation; hurricanes, typhoons, and storm surge damages; improved forecasting tools and opportunities to reduce damages in the future; coastal inundation and flooding; shoreline erosion and ways to study, understand, and adapt to shoreline change in the face of rising sea level; shoreline management and coastal hazard mitigation; vulnerability and adaptability of coastal structures and marine facilities; social science of natural disasters; and modeling efforts, field investigations, preparedness and lessons learned from recent tsunami events.

Prepared by the Council on Disaster Risk Management of ASCE. This CDRM Monograph contains a collection of papers presented at a 2006 symposium on the natural and technological hazards occurring in the central United States, specifically in Missouri, Illinois, and Tennessee. The papers cover frequent natural hazards—including floods, heat, winter storms, thunderstorms, earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, landslides, and tornadoes—as well as frequent technological hazards—including hazardous materials, nuclear incidents, dam failures, and terrorism. Papers briefly identify governmental regulations and describe details of major natural and technological hazards. This monograph outlines some of the more important issues that should be addressed in the development of comprehensive national and state hazard plans and action scenarios. This publication is invaluable to engineers involved in disaster risk assessment and mitigation, lifelines, and owners and operators of public and private infrastructure systems.
