The ASCE Annual Combined Index-1996 provides a guide to the material appearing in publications of the American Society of Civil Engineers published during 1996. This includes papers and technical notes from ASCE technical and professional journals, feature and news articles from ""Civil Engineering-ASCE"", Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice, books, and conference papers appearing in conference publications. In the subject index, the user will find all articles and papers dealing with specific subject areas listed under one or more appropriate subject headings suggested by the content and applications of the paper. The author index contains entries indexed under the names of editors, authors, co-authors, discussers, and committees or task forces preparing reports. Also in the author index, entries are supplemented with information concerning discussions, errata, and closures, if any. (If there is more than one author for the original paper, this supplementary information is given with the entry for the primary author.) To find what discussion, if any, there has been for a paper or article located in the subject index, the user should look under the entry for the first named author of the paper. When a paper from a prior year is discussed, entries for the original paper are repeated in this Index.
