Most countries have their local civil engineering society. To determine if a particular country has such a society, check the online portals, such as Intute http //www.intute.ac.uk/ to find complete lists. Some of the major organizations are listed below. 

To illustrate the influence of visions, the China Civil Engineering Society translated Vision 2025 and then endorsed it in May 2010. Spain s Association of Civil Engineers translated the two Vision 2025 reports into Spanish and, in June 2010, endorsed Vision 2025. Engineering societies in other countries have taken similar actions.

Michael Thompson is currently Editor of the Royal Society s Philosophical Transactions (Series A). He graduated from Cambridge with first class honours in Mechanical Sciences in 1958, and obtained his PhD in 1962 and his ScD in 1977. He was a Fulbright researcher in aeronautics at Stanford University, and joined University College London (UCL) in 1964. He has published four books on instabilities, bifurcations, catastrophe theory and chaos, and was appointed professor at UCL in 1977. Michael Thompson was elected FRS in 1985 and was awarded the Ewing Medal ofthe Institution of Civil Engineers. He was a senior SERC fellow and served on the IMA Council. In 1991 he was appointed director of the Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics. 

I cite this history including these two recent examples of attempts to insert chemistry into the thicket of materials research already densely populated by physicists, ceramists, metallurgists, and chemical and civil engineers, because they form the background for my recommendations in the following sections. It is, of course, directly relevant to the initiative in education of the American Chemical Society. First let me list good reasons for such an initiative ...

Surampalli, Ong, Seagren, and Nuno compiled and edited a book by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) called Natural Attenuation of Hazardous Wastes.97 In addition to a discussion of the regulatory framework, this book covers major pollutants and basic scientific principles on physical, chemical, and biological processes involved in natural attenuation. It also contains an extensive review of literature, examples of applications of natural attenuation, and site characterization and monitoring requirements and procedures.

Clay is the most important component of soil liners because the clay fraction of the soil ensures low hydraulic conductivity. In the United States, however, there is some ambiguity in defining the term clay because two soil classification systems are widely used. One system, published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is used predominantly by civil engineers.18 The other, the U.S. Department of Agriculture s (USDA s) soil classification system, is used primarily by soil scientists, agronomists, and soil physicists.19...
