your mother tongue, you are most welcome to send us articles in that language,
together with a synopsis in English of approximately 25% of the length of the
article. These articles need not necessarily be technical - they could have a
history-and-heritage flavour (e.g. how things were when you were a child and
how civil engineering has changed that), or why you chose civil engineering as
a career, or anything interesting and relevant to the civil engineering
environment that you would like to share with readers in your mother tongue. <strong><b><font
