Wood Pole Structures for Electrical Transmission Lines: Recommended Practice for Design and Use, MOP 141, provides comprehensive knowledge of the principles and methods for the design and use of wood poles for overhead utility line structures. The use of wood pole structures, properly designed utilizing consistent structural engineering principles, may provide a simple, cost effective, and more resilient option than some of the other pole materials commonly used. This manual examines

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.

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.

The structural behavior of plastics reflects a number of characteristics different from those of the metal, lumber, and concrete materials familiar to most design engineers. This manual provides practical assistance and guidelines to structural engineers engaged in the design of plastics and reinforced plastics structural components. The structural behavior of plastics is characterized in general. The significant types of structural plastics in current use are listed and described. Practical design criteria are synthesized and proposed for use in the design of structural plastics. Design approaches that lead to the most efficient use of plastics for structural applications are described and illustrated by design examples. A brief review of fundamental concepts of structural behavior is presented. Quantitative methods are provided for analysis and design of plates, beams, and axial stressed members, sandwich components and this rings and shells that are fabricated from plastic materials with either isotropic or synthotropic elastic properties. Finally, general information is provided about fire resistance of structural plastics and the tests and standards used for evaluating this aspect of their behavior.
