The Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize (Huber Award) is the highest level mid-career research award in all areas of civil engineering. [1] The award is annually given to individuals with notable achievements and contributions in research with respect to all disciplines of civil engineering. [2] [3] [4] This award was first established by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) board of direction in 1946 [5] and was given for the first time in 1949. [6]
Walter L. Huber (1883-1960) was an engineer, mountaineer, and conservationist. [7] His research interests mostly were in the field of structural, hydroelectric, and irrigation projects. He also made some studies in the field of flood control, municipal water supplies, seismic forces and earthquake resistance. [7]
The awards authorized for the first time as annual awards by the ASCE board of direction to encourage research activities in civil engineering in July 1946. [5] These prestigious annual awards endowed in honor of Walter L. Huber, Past President of the ASCE, by his wife Alberta Reed Huber in 1964. [8]
Based on the rules of the award, "the nominees must either be under 40 years of age or have worked no more than 12 years since receiving their doctoral degree at the time of nomination, whichever is less restrictive". [5] Huber awardees are "generally younger than 45 and have demonstrated a level of achievement and excellence that bodes well for a long and fruitful career." [1]
The following list is based on the information provided by the ASCE. [6]

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is a tax-exempt professional body founded in 1852 to represent members of the civil engineering profession worldwide. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, it is the oldest national engineering society in the United States. Its constitution was based on the older Boston Society of Civil Engineers from 1848.
Rafael Luis Bras is a Puerto Rican civil engineer best known for his contributions in surface hydrology and hydrometeorology, including his work in soil-vegetation-atmosphere system modeling.
Zdeněk Pavel Bažant is McCormick School Professor and Walter P. Murphy Professor of Civil Engineering and Materials Science in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University's Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science.
Bruce Russell Ellingwood is an American civil engineer and a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Colorado State University.
Marc Edwards is a civil engineering/environmental engineer and the Charles Edward Via Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech. An expert on water treatment and corrosion, Edwards's research on elevated lead levels in Washington, DC's municipal water supply gained national attention, changed the city's recommendations on water use in homes with lead service pipes, and caused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to admit to publishing a report so rife with errors that a congressional investigation called it "scientifically indefensible." He is considered one of the world's leading experts in water corrosion in home plumbing, and a nationally recognized expert on copper corrosion. He is also one of the whistleblowers in the Flint water crisis, along with Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha.
Dan Mircea Frangopol is an American civil engineer and the inaugural holder of the Fazlur R. Khan Endowed Chair of Structural Engineering and Architecture at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

He specializes in the field of structural engineering with a focus on non linear fracture mechanics of structural materials. He has done extensive research for the fields of fracture mechanics, fatigue, and engineering software development.
Ashraf Habibullah is a Pakistani-American structural engineer and software developer. He earned his M.S. (1970) in Civil (Structural) Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and B.S. (1969) in Civil Engineering from the University of Karachi, Pakistan. He is a licensed Civil Engineering and Structural Engineer in California. After earning his M.S., he worked at McClure and Messinger (1971-1973), and then Earthquake Engineering Systems (1974).

Franz-Josef Ulm is a structural engineer, an engineering scientist and a professor since 1999. He is Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Faculty Director of the Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub@MIT). He is credited for discovering the nanogranular structure of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H), the binding phase of concrete, and for the development of concepts of nanoengineering of concrete which combine advanced nanomechanics experiments with molecular simulation results. He advocates for environmentally sustainable engineering, with "greener" concrete with lower CO2 footprint, to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete; to enhance concrete's resilience; and reduce its impact on global warming.
Shaily Mahendra is an Indian-American civil and environmental engineer. She is an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Reginald DesRoches is an American civil engineer has served as the president of Rice University since July 1, 2022. From 2020 until 2022, he served as provost of Rice. Earlier, beginning in 2017, he was the dean of engineering at Rice's school of engineering, and from 2012 to 2017, DesRoches held the Karen and John Huff Chair at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Fred Mannering is an American scientist/engineer who is most known for the development and application of statistical and econometric methods to study highway safety, economics, travel behavior, and a variety of engineering-related problems.
Jack Moehle is the Ed and Diane Wilson Presidential Professor of Structural Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
Steven Lawrence Kramer is Professor Emeritus of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Washington.
Surendra Poonamchand Shah is an engineer and emeritus professor, currently at The University of Texas at Arlington, USA. Shah started his academic career and has worked in fracture, fiber reinforced composites, non-destructive evaluation, transport properties, processing, rheology, nanotechnology, and use of solid waste materials. His contributions to the fields of civil engineering and materials science have been recognized worldwide through membership and leadership in various scientific societies and universities.
