From the ASCE On-Line Authors' Guide:

References. In the text, cite publications by listing the last names of the authors and the year, which is called the author-date method of citation; e.g., (Duan et al. 1990; Frater and Packer 1992a). Prepare an appendix listing all references alphabetically by last name of the first author. For anonymous reports and standards, alphabetize by the issuing institution. Double-space the reference section.

Make sure reference information in the APPENDIX. REFERENCES is complete and accurate ... including as necessary and in the following order:

last names and initials of all authors;

year of publication;

title of paper, report, or book chapter (in quotes);

title of book or name of periodical; volume number; issue number (or month);

name of publisher (for books and proceedings);

city and state of publication (for books, proceedings, and non-U.S. journals);

and inclusive page numbers.
