Integrating Resilience and Sustainability into Civil Engineering Projects

Abstract

  • Prepared by the Committee on Social Science, Policy, Economics, Education, and Decision of the Infrastructure Resilience Division of ASCE and the Committee on Sustainability of ASCE

    Integrating Resilience and Sustainability into Civil Engineering Projects, Infrastructure Resilience Publication 6, seeks to inform and engage the engineering community in the concepts of resilience and sustainability, how they compare, and how engineers, owners, and contractors can adopt these concepts into practice.

    Topics include characteristics of resilience and sustainability; incorporation of resilience and sustainability into projects; practical guidance; policy, project definition, and planning; design, procurement and construction; and case studies.

    IRP 6 will be of interest to engineers, economists, and sociologists working to integrate social science, policy, and economics into the planning, design, and management decisions surrounding physical infrastructure projects.
