In this book, prominent women engineers discuss many of the eighteen infrastructure categories from the 2021 ASCE Infrastructure Report Card providing background, analysis of the issues facing the category and projections for the future. Categories covered include aviation, bridges, dams, water and wastewater, energy, hazardous waste, inland waterways, levees, ports, public parks, rail, roads, solid waste, and transit. Case studies from the authors work are included throughout. These topics touch on many of the challenges facing the world today and these solutions by women researchers and practitioners are valuable for their technical excellence and their non-traditional perspective. As an important part of the Women in Engineering and Science book series, the work highlights the contribution of women leaders in many of the infrastructure categories, inspiring women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure our future infrastructure. Provides insight into womens contributions to the field of infrastructure and what the issues are with respect to improving the grades across the infrastructure categories as enumerated in the ASCE Report Card; Presents information from academia, research, and industry into advances, applications, and threats for infrastructure; Discusses infrastructure challenges and solutions."--Back cover 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index 650 0 $a Women in engineering $z United States. 650 0 $a Civil engineering $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Civil engineering. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862488 650 7 $a Women in engineering. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177886 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 700 1 $a Layne, Margaret, $e editor. 700 1 $a Tietjen, Jill S., $e editor. 830 0 $a Women in engineering and science. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031814.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DB7C65E664511EDB99D19AA23ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
