CERRA Awards

Starting in 1987, at each ICASP conference, CERRA has recognized an individual for contributions made to the development of risk and reliability methods in civil engineering through the "CERRA Award". In 2009, the Board of Directors of CERRA unanimously voted to rename the CERRA Award as the "C. Allin Cornell Award" in recognition of the seminal contributions of late Professor C. Allin Cornell (1938-2007) of Stanford University to the field of risk and reliability analysis. Rules for the nomination or selection of candidates for this award can be found here.
