History

Professor Bilal M. Ayyub from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Maryland College Park, established the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems in 2014 in coordination and consultation with an advisory board representing leaders from ASCE and ASME, with the first issue being published in March 2015. As of 2018, it is the only joint journal for both societies with another society in their respective long histories. ASCE and ASME registered the two parts as separate journals as Part A and Part B, respectively, to facilitate the production of the journal along other journals offered by the respective societies. Both journals have the same editorial board and leadership and produced their first quarterly issues at the end of first quarter of 2015. The current Editor-in-Chief of the two journals is Professor Michael Beer.
