Definitions:Stationarity vs. Non-stationarityStationarity: the statistical properties of engineering design variables will be the same in the future as they have been in the past. Non-stationarity:
the statistical properties of engineering design variables will differ significantly in the future in comparison to the past.

30% Over
And the Problem is…
Call to Action
1. Civil engineers provide essential infrastructure
2. That infrastructure is dangerously deteriorating
3. Availability of resources and future conditions are highly uncertain
Call to Action
4. Current approaches, standards and methodologies do not address the full range of societal needs.
Therefore:5. Civil engineering practice must be
transformed.
6. ASCE is responsible to society to lead this change.
Goal 1 – Transform how infrastructure is conceived, designed and delivered to enable a sustainable future
Goal 2 – Establish ASCE as the trusted leader and preferred resource for sustainable civil engineering practices
Proposed Goals
Goal 3 – Make ISI Envision Infrastructure Rating System the broadly adopted framework for sustainable infrastructure
Goal 4 – Expand the capacity of civil engineers to create relationships of trust and respect
Proposed Goals

TI Wye Track RealignmentEnvision Rating
TI Wye Track Realignment
“The project will enable sustainable cargo movement by reducing emissions and congestions; improving efficiencies and safety; and reducing operational impacts to the community and the rail network.”
Seven Project Goals• Leave the site better than the pre-development
condition (environment)• Increase on dock rail utilization (environment,
economics)• Reduce emission and congestion (environment)• Reduce impact on community and increase local/small
business participation (social)• Improve stormwater management at site
(environment)• Improve Port’s economic competitiveness (economics)• Reduce consumption of resources (environment,
economics)
