    2016 Norman Medal, ASCE, for the paper, Maurer, B., Green, R., Cubrinovski, M. and Bradley, B. (2014) Evaluation of the Liquefaction Potential Index for Assessing Liquefaction Hazard in Christchurch, New Zealand. Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering 140(7): 04014032. http://dx.doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)GT.1943-5606.0001117. The Norman Medal recognizes a paper that makes a contribution to either practical or research aspects of engineering disciplines. The practical value of contribution and its impact on engineering practice are important considerations The award may be presented annually to the authors or authors of an original paper not previously contributed in whole or in part to any other association or otherwise appeared in print prior to its publication by the Society. Papers published in a print issue of an ASCE journal in the twelve-month period ending with June of the year preceding the year of award are eligible. Each ASCE Organizational Entity may recommend for review up to two candidate papers for consideration by the Paper Review Committee. The Norman Medal is the highest honor granted by the American Society of Civil Engineers for a technical paper that "makes a definitive contribution to engineering science".
