Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Overview (2024)

2024/08/26 16:08

Currently, among the projects along the “One Belt and One Road”, more than 60% of the international engineering projects undertaken by Chinese enterprises adopt British standards, European standards and other developed country standards; among them, the British Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) has adopted relevant standards in It plays an irreplaceable role in formulating, guiding and applying guidelines. On the other hand, for Chinese engineers, an in-depth understanding and study of ICE publications can improve their professional level and break the communication barriers encountered in international engineering projects with engineers from various countries in terms of design, materials, processes and calculations. ; In addition, this is also of great significance for Chinese enterprises to expand the scope of overseas engineering projects and cannot be ignored. In view of this, we have sorted out a list of relevant content about the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and its latest publications (books, journals) in order to provide industry colleagues with an optional reference basis.
