Preface We would like to welcome you to the 2009 Construction Research Congress (CRC) sponsored by the Construction Institute (CI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and hosted by the University of Washington. The theme of “Building a Sustainable Future” is one that reflects a priority for construction professionals. It is only fitting that the Congress is held in picturesque Seattle, a city known worldwide for environmental preservation and sustainable development. The two-volume Proceedings contain 152 peer reviewed papers covering 16 general state-of-knowledge research topic areas in construction engineering and management. There were 285 abstracts initially submitted that were reduced to 167 accepted draft papers following a peer review. From this, a final 152 papers were accepted for publication and presentation based on the same double peer review process used in abstract selection. We are delighted to see that this event is truly global with representation from 16 foreign countries including Canada, Colombia, Thailand, Israel, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Korea, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Turkey, and South Africa. Our sponsors merit special mention. We would like to recognize our Platinum Sponsors – Mortensen Construction, Kiewit Corporation, and Turner Construction and our Gold Sponsor – GLY Construction. Their participation is greatly appreciated and enabled us to enhance many of the Congress activities. In closing, we both hope that you enjoy these Proceedings and have a memorable experience of both the Congress and Seattle. It will be an excellent opportunity to catch up with old friends and colleagues and make new ones! Samuel T. Ariaratnam, Ph.D., P.E. Eddy M.
