The ASCE-SEI Sustainability Committee and the ASCE
Geo-Institute Sustainability in Geotechnical Engineering Committee had a very
successful 2016 Geo-Structures Congress. We are happy to report that the two
committees had representation at five sessions; they presented on various
aspects of sustainable design. Since one of our main committee goals is to
spread the word on sustainable design aspects that the practicing structural
engineer can put to use, we’re posting the presentations here on our...

Codes encompass sets of regulatory data that specify the minimum standards by which we must construct our building and non-building structures. The International Building Code (IBC) is widely used in the United States. It reflects a set of rules on how we should build and what type of techniques, materials and processes we should follow. The result is a safe and permitted structure....
