ICE - Institution of Civil Engineers - Virtual Library

Sustainability has become one of the expected competencies for the civil engineer. Embedding sustainability into practice constitutes a burden of responsibility, yet an opportunity to provide leadership. It is one of those subjects that we cannot afford to ignore.

ICE Proceedings: Engineering Sustainability provides a forum for sharing the latest thinking from research and practice, and increasingly is presenting the 'how to' of engineering a resilient future.

It features refereed papers and shorter articles relating to the pursuit and implementation of sustainability principles through engineering planning, design and application.  The tensions between and integration of social, economic and environmental considerations within such schemes are of particular relevance.  Methodologies for assessing sustainability, policy issues, education and corporate responsibility will also be included. 

The aims will be met primarily by providing papers and briefing notes (including case histories and best practice guidance) of use to decision-makers, practitioners, researchers and students.
