ROLE OF ASCE IN THE ADVANCEMENT OF COMPUTING IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

摘要

Computing has emerged as a major focus area in civil engineering, just as it has in other disci- plines. This paper examines the role of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in the advancement and development of this focus on computing in civil engineering. The paper documents the technical activities of ASCE that contributed to this evolution, particularly the committees of the Structural Division (now the Structural Engineering Institute) and the Technical Council on Computer Practices (now the Technical Council On Computing and Information Technology).
