Awards

At the ICASP11 conference two new awards will be given, namely the C. Allin Cornell Award and the CERRA Student Recognition Award.

The C. Allin Cornell Award

The Board of Directors of CERRA is proud to announce that, effective ICASP11, the CERRA Award is being renamed C. Allin Cornell Award. The late Professor C. Allin Cornell, who was the first recipient of the CERRA Award in 1987, had a major influence on the advancement of risk and reliability in civil engineering. He pioneered many areas of application of probability and statistics in civil engineering, including seismic hazard analysis, probability-based design codes, load modeling and combination, reliability assessment of offshore and nuclear structures, and performance-based earthquake engineering.
The C. Allin Cornell Award is given, once every four years, on the occasion of the ICASP conference to an individual for his/her contributions to the advancement of risk and reliability methods in civil engineering. Rules for the nomination or selection of the candidate can be found on the CERRA website http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/~cerra.

The CERRA Students Recognition Award

At ICASP 11, CERRA will introduce the new CERRA Student Recognition Award. The award will be given in recognition of scientific contributions and personal merits of student researchers and may, besides a certificate, include financial support in the form of free conference attendance and a travel grant. Rules for the nomination and selection of candidates can be found on the CERRA website http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/~cerra.
