ASCE provides a healthy number of free research papers each month. The following is a list of free publications content for the month of April 2026. These papers are also featured on the following page while they are open: https://ascelibrary.org/editors_choice_papers
(Note: When you click on the link you will be leaving Collaborate.asce.org and directed to ASCELIBRARY.org where you must re-enter your ASCE login credentials to access the free content. The login button is in the upper-right corner).
I'll be sharing these papers each month to encourage discussion on some of these topics. I'll also be tagging these posts as "ASCE Papers" for you to easily access in the future. Please feel free to comment on other areas where you might like to see additional research as well!
