The Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize (Huber Award) is the highest level mid-career research award in all areas of civil engineering within United States. The award is annually given to individuals with notable achievements and contributions in research with respect to all disciplines of civil engineering. This award was first established by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) board of direction in 1946 and was given for the first time in 1949.

History

Walter L. Huber (1883-1960) was an engineer, mountaineer, and conservationist. His research interests mostly were in the field of structural, hydroelectric, and irrigation projects. He also made some studies in the field of flood control, municipal water supplies, seismic forces and earthquake resistance.

The awards were authorized for the first time as annual awards by the ASCE board of direction to encourage research activities in civil engineering in July 1946. These prestigious annual awards were endowed in honor of Walter L. Huber, Past President of the ASCE, by his wife Alberta Reed Huber in 1964.
