Sponsored by the ASCE Infrastructure Resilience Division and edited by Bilal M. Ayyub, Ph.D., P.E., Dist.M.ASCE, Hazard-Resilient Infrastructure: Analysis and Design, MOP 144, provides guidance and an underlying framework for designing new infrastructure systems with consistency across hazards, systems, and sectors.
MOP 144 uses probabilistic methods for risk analysis and management of infrastructure projects; an approach that includes identifying and analyzing hazards, system failures, the economics of resilience, and technologies for enhancing new and existing infrastructure.
Ayyub edited another ASCE manual of practice for publication in 2018, Climate-Resilient Infrastructure: Adaptive Design and Risk Management, prepared by the ASCE Committee on Adaptation to a Changing Climate. And while the two manuals are not explicitly related, Ayyub does see them as being part of a continuum of sorts, with more MOPs potentially in the works.
Ayyub, who serves as the director of the Center for Technology and Systems Management of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Maryland, said he has seen the industry increasingly embrace these resilience concepts in recent years. Many of the case studies and visuals in the manual of practice derived from the participation of major civil engineering firms.
Due to the rapid advancement of surveying technologies since the 1980s, the Surveying Committee of the Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute is developing a new manual of practice on surveying and geomatics engineering. Because of the need for surveyors to produce georeferenced products, the manual starts by introducing geodetic reductions, map projections, and coordinate transformations. Solutions to common challenges, such as linear distortion or the grid-to-ground problem, time-dependent positioning and consideration of horizontal crustal velocities and displacements are given. Information is presented on random error propagation and least squares adjustments. It also includes chapters on surveying technologies, including automatic levels, totals stations, global navigation Satellite Systems, digital photogrammetry, unmanned aircraft systems, and terrestrial, mobile, and aerial LIDAR. Lastly, the manual gives advice on survey record keeping, contracts, construction surveying, and data management, such as the use of computer-assisted drafting, geographic information systems, and building information modeling. This webinar discusses the topics covered in the new manual. It provides discussion regarding methods of geo-referencing surveying products.
This manual, Evapotranspiration and Irrigation Water Requirements (Manual No. 70), prepared by the Committee on Irrigation Water Requirements of the Irrigation and Drainage Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers, updates the former ASCE report Consumptive Use of Water and Irrigation Water Requirements published in 1974. It incorporates many years of user experience with the previous report and recent advances in the physics of evaporation from plant and soil surfaces. The manual is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter provides the background information on evapotranspiration and irrigation water requirements throughout the world. The next chapter explores various aspects of the soil-plant-atmosphere system while the third discusses energy balance. This is followed by a discussion of evapotranspiration, potential evapotranspiration and crop evapotranspiration. Chapter 5 explores the relationship between evapotranspiration and irrigation water requirements. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss the methods for determining evapotranspiration and the evaluation of these methods respectively. The final chapter states the various ways an engineer might use this data. Therefore, this manual not only provides engineers with the necessary information to modify and improve procedures for estimating evapotranspiration, but it also helps them to evaluate and use this data.

ASCE Manual 54 "Sedimentation Engineering," edited by the late Professor Vito A.Vanoni, provides both qualitative and quantitative guidance to theoreticians and practitioners with respect to sediment issues and processes associated with the development, use and conservation of water and land resources. It describes the nature and scope of sedimentation problems, details methods of investigation, and presents practical approaches to solution and management. As a major contribution to the profession, Professor Vanoni organized, partially wrote, and edited the definitive Manual 54. As chairman of the special Task Committee, established in 1954 with the charge of writing the manual, Vanoni worked for two decades and set a high standard. Many of the sections of the original manuscript for the book were first published in the Journal of the Hydraulics Division ASCE and received considerable discussion, which was taken into account in the final manuscript. Manual 54 received worldwide recognition and widespread use in academia and practice, being recognized with the ASCE Karl Emil Hilgard Hydraulic Prize for best publication in 1976. Since the publication of Manual 54 in 1975, global awareness of sediment erosion, transport and deposition processes and of their impact on the use and development of water and land resources has greatly increased. Manual 54 remains an important reference on many aspects of sedimentation engineering, but in other aspects it has been outdated by advances in knowledge and techniques and by the emergence of new problems and issues.
