ASCE sets the standard for civil engineering practice.
ASCE Standards provide technical guidelines for promoting safety, reliability, productivity and efficiency across all areas of civil engineering. These voluntary standards are written by experts with knowledge and expertise in a particular field. There are more than 60 published ASCE Standards.
.
Standards are developed by a consensus process managed by the Codes and Standards Committee (CSC). The consensus process includes balloting by the balanced standards committee, made up of Society members and nonmembers, and a public review period.
