Journal of Composites for Construction Best Paper Awards

We are pleased to announce the Best Paper Awards for the Journal of Composites for Construction for papers published in 2006 (Volume 10).

Awards are given for papers in the basic research category and the applied research category. In each category, up to two awards are given—one Best Paper and one Honorable Mention paper. Not all awards are given out every year. The committee for the 2005 awards consisted of Prof. Amnon Katz of Technion–Israel Institute of Technology (Chair), Prof. Vicki Brown of Widener University, and Prof. Charles Dolan of the University of Wyoming. I express my sincere thanks to the committee members for their dedicated service to the Journal. I also congratulate the award recipients. Award recipients receive a certificate of recognition from ASCE.
