OF THE BOSTON
SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS SECTION/ASCE (ISSN: 0886-9685) is published
twice yearly in the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter by the Boston
Society of Civil Engineers Section/ASCE (founded in 1848). Known
as The Journal of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers Section/ASCE
until 1985, Vol. 71, Nos. 1 & 2.
Civil Engineering Practice seeks to capture the spirit
and substance of contemporary civil engineering practice in a
careful selection of articles which are comprehensive in scope
while remaining readily understandable to the non-specialist.
Typically using a case-study approach, Civil Engineering Practice
places key emphasis on the presentation of techniques being applied
successfully in the analysis, justification, design, construction,
operation and maintenance of civil engineering works.
