Proposal for Making a Membership Increase Plan
– aiming at further expansion of the ACECC network.
Proposed by JSCE June 7,2006
Purpose: Expansion of the ACECC Membership
In Asia, some nations have a civil engineering society/institution
independently, while others have an engineering society/institution to which civil
engineers belong. In such nations, since all of the engineers in all fields, not
only civil engineers, belong to the engineering society/institution, they have
reservations to participate in ACECC that is a civil engineers‟ organization.
In order to establish stronger cooperative relationships with more civil
engineering organizations, we need to lay out a plan to facilitate us inviting
those engineering societies/institutions to join ACECC, and expand the network
of civil engineers in Asia.
Proposal: Planning Measures for ACECC Membership Increase
It is proposed that some measures for ACECC membership increase be
planned. To give some ideas, membership dues should be reduced in
proportion to the number of the civil engineers who belong to the
society/institution, or simply reduced by 50%.
Target: Let‟s make the number of membership two-digit!
Numerical target: Make the number of membership more than 10 by
th
the 4 CECAR.
Target countries: For the time being, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia
should be focused for invitation.

ACECC Workshop on
Harmonization of Design Codes in the Asian Region
November 4, 2006
JSCE Committee on ACECC
Chair, Fuminao Okumura
1. About ACECC
The Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC) is an organization which was
established in 1999 by five civil engineering societies/institutions: the American Society of Civil
Engineers (ASCE), the Chinese Institute of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering (CICHE), the Japan Society
of Civil Engineers (JSCE), the Korean Society of Civil Engineers (KSCE) and the Philippine Institute of
Civil Engineers (PICE), aiming at sustainable development of infrastructure in the Asian region.
Subsequently the Vietnam Federation of Civil Engineering Associations (VIFCEA), Engineers Australia
(EA), and Mongolian Association of Civil Engineers (MACE) joined and, with those civil engineering
societies/institutions of eight countries, ACECC is now trying to invite other Asian countries.
ACECC organizes a conference that is called the Civil Engineering Conference in the Asian
Region (CECAR) once in three years, in order to provide all the experts in the civil engineering
profession an opportunity to discover some of the most important innovations in civil engineering
technology and R&D, and advance integrated discussions on the infrastructure development in the Asian
region. The CECAR conferences were held in Manila in 1998, Tokyo in 2001, and in Seoul, in 2004.
Approximately 1,000 engineers from all over the world participated in the Seoul Conference (3 rd
CECAR). The 4th CECAR is going to be held on June 25-28, 2007, in Taipei.
Information about ACECC：http://www.acecc.net/index.php
Information about 4th CECAR: http://www.acecc.net/modules/tinycontent3/index.php?id=3
2. The outline of the workshop
As part of activities of the above-mentioned ACECC, the importance of mutual coordination on
creating codes to be used in common in Asia has been discussed, and JSCE has been taking initiative for
working on the possible measures. While codes like ISO and Eurocodes are being formulated from a
global perspective, a lot of codes such as in the fields of concrete, geotechnical and seismic engineering
are being transmitted to the world from Asian countries. Under these circumstances, we would like to
- 36 -
th
The 13 ECM, ACECC, June 17, 2006
hold “Workshop on Harmonization of Design Codes in the Asian Region (provisional)”, for the purpose
of mutually sharing the information and having discussions on international strategy by the
engineers/researchers who are working on code formulations in different areas in civil engineering
assembled in one place. The outline of the workshop at the present stage is as follows;

The purposes of the workshop;
(1) To share the information on activities and strategies for formulating design codes in each country
and make use of them for future activities.
(2) To discuss the direction for the code harmony in the Asian region. As well, to provide a place for
discussions in the same vocabulary.
(3) To transmit to the world the idea about the design code in the Asian region as the Asian voice.
(4) To formulate the code which should be equivalent to Eurocode 0,a basic idea to comprehend all the
codes in each area,
(5) To establish a basis for discussions for 4th CECAE through the above discussions.
It is not too much to say that whether this workshop will be a successful one or not totally
depends on the participants who are engaged in code formulations in each ACECC member. We would
therefore be obliged for your cooperation.
Note: On November 2 and 3, just before this ACECC workshop, the workshop on the geotechnical
codes “International Symposium on New Generation Design Codes for Geotechnical Engineering
Practice” is scheduled to be held. This symposium is organized by Taiwan Geotechnical
Society and ISSMGE ITC23 „Limit State Design in Geotechnical Engineering Practice‟.

Report of Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC)
Period of Report: October 2005 to June 2006
Activities of TCC:
Outstanding business – Three TC proposals were conditionally approved in LA in
October 2005; namely, the TC on the Mekong Delta (by JSCE), the TC on
Tsunami (by JSCE), and the TC on Sustainable Development (by CICHE). On the
recommendations of the TCC, updated proposals from the respective TC‟s were
subsequently submitted and have been transmitted to the members of the TCC
for review and final approval. Thus far, however, no further actions have been
taken.
A fourth TC proposal by PICE on Disaster Mitigation and Preparedness was
deferred for further action, with the recommendation to resubmit the proposal
with a reduced scope. No new proposal for this TC has been received from
PICE.
Details of the TCC actions taken on each of the above TC proposals are described in
st
the minutes of the 1 TCC meeting held in LA in October 2005.
New business -- A TC proposal on Quantitative Risk Assessment (by ASCE) has been
submitted to the Secretariat, with copies to the members of TCC for review and
suggestions. The main task of this TC is the organization of a workshop/tutorial
during the CECAR4 in Taipei in June 2007. Participations by other members of
ACECC in the activities of this TC are being solicited.

Proposal of ACECC Technical Committee on
“Inter-regional Cooperation for Great Mekong
Sub-region”
Japan Society of Civil Engineers
The great success of the Special Forum 1 „Great Mekong Sub-region‟ organized by Prof.
rd
Kusakabe at the 3 CECAR has made us realize the strong interest of ACECC on this topic and
the necessity to keep fruitful discussion for the sustainable development of the GMS: Great
Mekong Sub-region. Thus JSCE proposes to establish a new TC on “Inter-regional Cooperation
for Great Mekong Sub-region”.
GMS consists of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and China (Yunnan
Province). There are a number of issues to be discussed, such as environment, water resources,
infrastructure development, and so on.
As for the operation of the TC, JSCE will propose the TC members based on the suggestion by
Prof. Kusakabe. In the GMS, only the VIFCEA is the member of ACECC. Therefore, the
proposed TC needs to invite new members from non-ACECC member societies / institutes.
Possible TC Chair: O. Kusakabe (JSCE)
Secretary: Pongsakorn (Khon Kaen University, Thailand)
Tentative terms of references:
(1) To discuss the cooperative strategies for the sustainable development of the GMS over
the above important issues.
(2) To organize an international symposium on this topic in GMS.

Proposal of policy to accept non-members to join
ACECC activities
Related to
Technical Committee on Development of the Great Mekong Sub-region
Japan Society of Civil Engineers
In the last 10th ECM, JSCE has proposed a new Technical Committee on
“Inter-regional Cooperation for Great Mekong Sub-region”. It was agreed
that preparing a policy to accept non-members to join ACECC activities is
required beforehand.
Since the last ECM, possible chair, Prof. Kusakabe, has been discussing
with candidates of possible TC members in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos,
for the preparation of the TC, and has found that starting activities at the
earlier stage would result in more effective activities and fruitful discussions.
JSCE would like to propose the following policy to accept non-members to
join ACECC activities when:
1) it is deemed necessary in order to achieve ACECC objectives, and
2) it is deemed to lead to obtaining new ACECC memberships in the future.
On the above conditions, JSCE would like to request PC to approve the
launch of the TC activities with acceptance of non-members.

Proposal of Technical Committee
on the Sustainable Development of Civil Engineering
(revised by CICHE on July 6, 2006)
Chinese Institute of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering
By nature, Civil Engineering deals with public service in our society, i.e., civil engineers design
structures, plan land use, build roads, buildings and bridges, construct water reservoirs, handle
water supply and wastewater treatment; all these functions are to ensure safety and comfort in
our daily life. In the final analysis, civil engineers attempt to improve the quality of life for all
citizens.
Of course, sustainable development involves the entire sector in all levels in our society, from
government to industry to individual, as well as from nation to nation. The role of engineers is
of importance because they implement the policies made by decision makers. However, in this
proposal, the role of civil engineers in conjunction with the sustainable development is
addressed.
If one can understand the simple concept of sustainable development (development which
meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs), one can simply incorporate sustainable development into the Civil
Engineering field. For example, the use of raw materials should be minimized, energy reduced,
design of public works (reservoirs, airport, bridges and roads, etc.) adequate, water supply safe,
pollutant discharge reduced, roads/bridges long lasting, a smart community promoted,
transportation convenient, flood control adequate, response for natural disasters (e.g.,
earthquake and flood) rapid, and infrastructure sound and environmental friendly. These
efforts all lead to sustainability in our society.
To that end, we emphasize the education and information exchange of the sustainability
experience in Civil Engineering. Thus, a technical committee to address this concern was
established within the consensus of the Chinese Institute of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering.
The specific objectives are to: (1) increase public awareness of sustainable development within
the Civil Engineering field; (2) interact with other professional societies, particularly the Chinese
Institute of Environmental Engineering for cooperation; (3) collect relevant information for
sustainable development within the Civil Engineering field; and (4) formulate Civil Engineering
curriculum for sustainability.
- 58 -
th
The 13 ECM, ACECC, June 17, 2006
Consequently, four (4) subcommittees will be formed to address each of these four objectives.
Furthermore, three major themes will be emphasized in each subcommittee: (1) Water
Environment including water resource protection, water use, wastewater treatment and water
reuse; (2) Transportation including green transportation, mass rapid transit system,
transportation energy and pollutant emission; and (3) Construction Materials including
resource reuse (e.g., fly ash and disposed construction materials).
In consultation with the Executive Committee, ACECC, the formation, goal and function of
different committees may be revised.
1. Committee Organization
Technical Committee
The committee is charged to oversee the activities of all subcommittees and at the end
summarize the findings from each subcommittee. Since some activities of the
subcommittees are intertwined, it is important for the technical committee to identify the
main goal for each subcommittee.
The committee is chaired by Alan Cheng-Fang LIN, Graduate Institute of Environmental
Engineering, National Taiwan University.
Subcommittee - Public Awareness:
The subcommittee is charged to provide means and Identify methods to emphasize the
role of Civil Engineers in sustainable development. Public in general and practicing
Civil Engineers as well as Civil Engineering students in particular should be aware the
important role of civil engineers in the sustainable development.
Subcommittee – Interaction with other Professional Societies:
The subcommittee is charged to interact with other professional societies for input and
cooperation to enhance the role of Civil Engineers in sustainable development.
Subcommittee - Information Collection and Exchange:
The subcommittee is charged to collect relevant information about the role of civil
- 59 -
th
The 13 ECM, ACECC, June 17, 2006
engineers in sustainable development. In particular, what is the role of civil engineers
in conjunction with other engineers in sustainable development? For example, how is
Sustainable Engineering? What are other
Civil Engineering incorporated into
Civil Engineer(ing) societies (Associations) doing with the sustainable
development? What types of curriculum have other Civil Engineering
Departments (Schools) incorporated or plan to incorporate for
sustainable development for civil engineers?
Subcommittee - Education:
This is the main part of our Technical Committee. The conventional curriculum may
not be applicable. One needs to develop a new set of curriculum, as well as a new
way of thinking in conducting classes. For example, class materials should cover
relevant parts of design and materials as well as construction in Civil Engineering in
relation to sustainability. The introduction and inclusion of sustainability in all classes is
st
the 1 step to achieve the noble goal of sustainable development. In each class, the
instructor should cover the implication of his/her lecture to sustainable development.
Freshman (or senior) students in civil engineering should design a project emphasizing
in sustainable development.
The importance of engineering ethics, resource recycle/reuse and ecology and
environment restoration should also be emphasized.
2. Committee Activities
The main function of each committee/subcommittee is stated above. The
tasks/activities to achieve its goal are in the discretion of each subcommittee. Each
subcommittee, however, should report to Technical Committee its finding twice annually.
Technical Committee, in turn, shall submit the report to the Chair of the TCC and
general secretary of the ACECC before the Executive Committee meeting.
A workshop (such as forum at the CECAR) may be appropriate for the Technical
Committee to disassemble results to all interested parties.
3. Committee Tasks in 2006 and 2007
- 60 -
th
The 13 ECM, ACECC, June 17, 2006
Three tasks are proposed:
(1). In collaboration with MACE, it is proposed to hold a Workshop in
June 16, 2006 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia to discuss three topics: (1) energy
saving; (2) water resource; and (3) disaster protection. Three representatives,
each from JACE (Japan), KACE (Korea) and CICHE (Taiwan), will be invited for
leading to address each of these three topics. See the attached proposal for
details.
th
(2). During the 4 CECAR to be held in Taiwan in 2007, a Forum will be established
to redefine the mission and vision of our four subcommittees in general and
future tasks to be completed for each subcommittee in particular.
th
(3). During the 4 CECAR to be held in Taiwan in 2007, a Declaration on the
“Sustainable Development of Civil Engineering” will be signed in the
ACECC summit meeting. This committee will help to propose the draft of the
Declaration.
4. Duration of Committee Activities
The duration of the Committee/subcommittees defined above should begin from the
th
approval of this proposal to the end of 4 CEACR.
4. Funding Sources
The proposal will be submitted for National Science Council of ROC and private
enterprises and foundations for possible funding.
