Content Description

 ASCE Manual 54 “Sedimentation Engineering,” edited by the late Professor Vito A. Vanoni, provides both qualitative and quantitative guidance to theoreticians and practitioners with respect to sediment issues and processes associated with the development, use and conservation of water and land resources. It describes the nature and scope of sedimentation problems, details methods of investigation, and presents practical approaches to solution and management. As a major contribution to the profession, Professor Vanoni organized, partially wrote, and edited the definitive Manual 54. As chairman of the special Task Committee, established in 1954 with the charge of writing the manual, Vanoni worked for two decades and set a high standard. Many of the sections of the original manuscript for the book were first published in the Journal of the Hydraulics Division ASCE and received considerable discussion, which was taken into account in the final manuscript. Manual 54 received worldwide recognition and widespread use in academia and practice, being recognized with the ASCE Karl Emil Hilgard Hydraulic Prize for best publication in 1976. Since the publication of Manual 54 in 1975, global awareness of sediment erosion, transport and deposition processes and of their impact on the use and development of water and land resources has greatly increased. Manual 54 remains an important reference on many aspects of sedimentation engineering, but in other aspects it has been outdated by advances in knowledge and techniques and by the emergence of new problems and issues.
