Prepared by the Publications Division of ASCEThe American Society of Civil Engineers supports a robust book publishing program to provide in-depth information on a variety of topics of interest to civil engineers and allied professionals. The books program encompasses ASCE Standards, manuals of practice, conference proceedings, technical reports, and the ASCE Press imprint. This guidebook provides information for authors, editors, and members of ASCE's technical committees who are working on books to be published by ASCE.This document describes the types of books published by ASCE, including the review and approval process for each type; the role of the lead editor/author; publication path; and submission requirements. The basics of ASCE's copyright and permissions policies are outlined. Various aspects of preparing the final manuscript are explained, including writing style, parts of a book, and preparing text, tables, illustrations, math, and the author-date reference system. Marketing, promotion, and sales after publication are covered, as well as antipiracy efforts, errata, and publishing ethics. Publishing Books with ASCE is a key reference for any current or prospective author of a book to be published by ASCE.

Prepared by the Atmospheric Water Management Standards Committee of the Standards Development Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE Standard Practice for the Design and Operation of Supercooled Fog Dispersal Projects, ANSI/ASCE/EWRI 44-13, presents guidelines for programs aimed at dispersing supercooled fog. Extended periods of fog can have large economic impacts on aviation, tourism, transportation, and mining industries — as well as a negative effect on agriculture. These problems can be reduced through the use of state-of-the-art supercooled fog dispersal technologies to increase visibility. This Standard describes the process through which supercooled fog dispersal operations should be designed, conducted, and evaluated. A review of supercooled fog dispersal technology is followed by a discussion of fog characteristics. The design of these projects encompasses such topics as project scope, delivery methods, seeding agent selection, targeting and delivery considerations, and seeding suspension criteria. Aspects of conducting a dispersal project include the operational manual, personnel requirements, decision-making, communications, and public information and safety considerations. Methods of evaluating a project are described. Standard 44 is particularly useful to hydrologists, hydrometeorologists, environmental and water resources engineers, airport and mining operations managers, water managers with governmental agencies, surface transportation managers, and others who deal with the limitations posed by supercooled fog.

Prepared by the Flood Resistant Design and Construction Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. Flood Resistant Design and Construction, ASCE/SEI 24-14, provides minimum requirements for design and construction of structures located in flood hazard areas and subject to building code requirements. Identification of flood prone structures is based on flood hazard maps, studies, and other public information. This standard applies to new structures, including subsequent work, and to work classified as substantial improvement of existing structures that are not historic. Standard ASCE/SEI 24-14 introduces a new concept, Flood Design Class, that bases requirements for a structure on the risk associated with unacceptable performance. The standard includes requirements for the following: basic siting and design and construction requirements for structures in flood hazard areas; minimum elevations for the lowest floor, flood damage-resistant materials, and floodproofing measures, each tied to a structure.s Flood Design Class; structures in high risk flood hazard areas subject to flooding associated with alluvial fans, flash floods, mudslides, erosion, high velocity flow, coastal wave action, or ice jams and debris; structures in coastal high hazard areas (V Zones) and Coastal A Zones; flood damage-resistant materials; dry floodproofing and wet floodproofing; attendant utilities and equipment, including electrical service, plumbing systems, mechanical/HVAC systems, and elevators; building access; and miscellaneous construction, including decks and porches, concrete slabs, garages and carports, accessory storage structures, chimneys and fireplaces, pools, and tanks. A detailed commentary containing explanatory and supplementary information to assist users of the standard is included for each chapter. Standard ASCE/SEI 24-14 updates and replaces the previous Standard, ASCE/SEI 24-05. It provides essential guidance on design and construction to structural engineers, design professionals, code officials, floodplain managers, and building owners. The standard is adopted by reference in model building codes.

Sponsored by the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. In Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings, Standard ASCE/SEI 41-13, a three-tiered process is established for seismic evaluation according to a range of building performance levels. Tier 1 evaluation focuses on identifying potential deficiencies in existing buildings based on the performance of similar buildings in past earthquakes. The systematic procedure sets forth a methodology to evaluate the entire building in a rigorous manner. Tier 1 Checklists for Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings: Fillable Forms for Standard ASCE/SEI 41-13 is a complete collection of the screening checklists included in Appendix C of Standard 41-13. The evaluation checklists, covering a variety of building types and seismicity levels, are now offered as fillable PDF forms that can be completed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. The collection of 34 forms includes the summary data sheet, Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy checklists for basic configuration and 15 building types, and a nonstructural checklist. Each form contains criteria for four seismicity levels: very low, low, moderate, and high. The fillable PDF forms are designed for use with Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 9.0 or later, which is available here (https://get.adobe.com/reader/) as a free download. The forms can be used, saved, and printed as often as necessary. They are designed to work on Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS platforms (not recommended for tablets or smart phones). This product is supplied under a license that covers workstations utilized in one corporate office only; multiple corporate office locations require the purchase of additional licenses. For inquiries, please contact ascelibrary@asce.org. A sample form is available for free download here. (http://dx.doi.org/10.1061/9780784478660.ch07).
