ASCE is the leading publisher of high-quality, authoritative books that represent the best thinking in civil engineering research and practice. ASCE’s research and reference books address the technical needs of civil engineers working in many different disciplines, as well as their professional needs for books on management, career development, and legal/ethical issues. Prior to publication, ASCE titles are exhaustively peer-reviewed by groups of subject matter experts. As a society of more than 140,000 members, we have an abundance of experts!
Unmatched Technical Content
ASCE publishes more than 50 new books each year, with nearly 1,500 individual titles in print. Almost one in three of our new books and CD-ROMs is a conference proceedings—which make the content of ASCE’s specialty conferences accessible to the widest possible audiences—and papers from the most recent proceedings are available for instant download through the ASCE Research Library.
ASCE’s network of technical committees produces a wealth of new material each year in the form of standards, manuals of practice, committee reports, and specialty series such as the TCLEE monographs and the Geotechnical Special Publications. The Society’s flagship imprint, ASCE Press, contracts with individual authors to produce books that are scholarly, readable, and commercially competitive.
Unparalleled Technical Scope
The breadth of titles written by civil engineers for civil engineers reflects the diverse content of a profession that holds paramount the public's health, safety, and welfare. In the past year, the range of subjects included ASCE/SEI Standard 7-05: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Hurricane Katrina: Performance of Transportation Systems, Changing Our World: True Stories of Women Engineers, and a reissue of the classic Sedimentation Engineering (ASCE Manual of Practice 54).
