JSCE Awards: Awardees and Their Outstanding Achievements
| Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award | Environmental Award | Tanaka Award | Innovative Technique Award |
Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) instituted a JSCE Award system with the establishment
of the Civil Engineering Award in 1920, and developed it twofold with the establishments of
the JSCE Award and Incentive Award in 1949.
Afterwards, Yoshida Award was established in 1961, Distinguished Service Award, and Outstanding
Civil Engineering Achievement Award in 1965, and Tanaka Award in the following year.
The JSCE Award came to consist of 6 divisions.
Since then, the Society has expanded the system by establishing more divisions in order to promote
the civil engineering profession: Innovative Technique Award in 1983, Book Award, which was
renamed as Book of the Year Award in 1991, International Award and Technical Service Award in 1993,
and the award system has 10 divisions in total as it is now.
The JSCE Awards Committee has published the booklet of "JSCE Awards: Awardees and Their Outstanding
Achievements" with the purpose of introducing some highly innovative project-related technologies
and projects among the notable Award recipients'achievements. The Committee sincerely hopes
that by presenting the feats of civil engineers in this booklet, they will encourage the civil
engineering community to strive for further advancement of civil engineering technology and projects
and promote a better knowledge of civil engineering among the public as well.
Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award
Group I
This award is presented in recognition of an achievement relating to innovative planning or design, or individual technologies such as constructing technologies that have made an outstanding contribution to the further advancement of civil engineering technology in relation to a specific project.
Group II
This award is presented to milestone projects that have made an outstanding contribution to the development of civil engineering technology.
Environmental Award
Group I
This award is presented in recognition of individuals and/or groups for their significant contribution to the preservation of natural environment and also to the creation of richer and healthier natural environment with newly developed technologies and systems which have make it possible to reduce environmental loads.
Group II
This award is to be presented to outstanding and unique projects that have made a significant contribution to the preservation of natural environment and also to the creation of richer and healthier natural environment.
Tanaka Award; Excellence in Bridge Design and Construciton
The award is made to excellent planning, design, construction, maintenance and management of bridges and related structures in construction or reconstruction projects. Unique and innovative technologies which were employed in the projects are also considered. There is no restriction to project size.
Innovative Technique Award
The award is made to individual JSCE members or groups of JSCE members who have developed innovative technologies including IT and management ones and successfully applied them to planning, design, construction and maintenance and management. His or their efforts and achievements have contributed to the advancement of civil engineering and the development of society as well.
