Computing in Civil Engineering

This proceedings contains papers presented at the 2009 ASCE International Workshop on Computing in Civil Engineering, held in Austin, Texas, from June 24 to 27, 2009. This workshop, organized under the auspices of the ASCE Technical Council on Computing and Information Technology, offers the very best and latest in contemporary research that examines the practical challenges, along with the areas of technological growth and development in civil engineering. Each paper submitted was put through a rigorous peer-review process, with only the absolute highest quality papers being invited for full submission. This international workshop presents 69 papers from around the world which examine topics such as: Sensing, mobile/wearable computing, life-cycle assessment and sustainable infrastructure design, design, and cutting-edge development. This book will be valuable to professionals and researchers who are interested in computing in a wide range of civil engineering disciplines.
