Norman Medal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Norman Medal is the highest award of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) for the authors of a scientific paper of a theoretical or practical nature in civil engineering . The second-placed work receives the J. James R. Croes Medal , which is also awarded if the jury does not want to award a Norman Medal as the highest award in the respective year.

The work must first have been published in one of the ASCE journals, come from the year before the award ceremony and at least one author must be a member of the ASCE. Everyone can propose a piece of work, the individual sub-organizations and committees of the ASCE can each propose two pieces of work. Work that has already been submitted for the Norman or Croes Medal can no longer be proposed in the following years. The first author receives the medal, the others receive a certificate.

The Norman Medal has generally been awarded annually since 1874. It is named after George H. Norman, a member of the ASCE who founded it in 1872. From 1897 the financing was taken over by the ASCE.
