- Abstract
This award was instituted following a bequest made to the Institution by Thomas Telford (1757-1834), first President of the ICE, to be expended in the provision of medals and premiums awarded annually in connection with papers presented to the Institution. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were awarded from 1837 to 1840. The Telford Medal is the highest award of the Institution and is given to the best paper each year. It may be withheld in any year if a paper of sufficient merit is not available. It may also be awarded to an author who has contributed an outstanding series of papers, irrespective of any previous recognition by the Council.
Each year we award authors from both industry and academia who have produced work judged by their peers to be of exceptional quality and benefit to the civil engineering, construction and materials science community. Papers outside of our archive (published after 2002) are free to read here in perpetuity as part of our commitment to furthering knowledge and best practice.
