With an increasing amount of attention on the environmental impact of every industry, more construction projects are going to require sustainable construction practices. This volume offers research evidence, simulation results, and case studies to support this change. Sustainable construction, in fact, not only uses renewable and recyclable materials when building new structures or repairing deteriorating ones, but also adopts all possible methods to reduce energy consumption and waste.
The concisely written but comprehensive, practical knowledge put forward by this international group of highly specialized editors and contributors will prove to be beneficial to engineering students and professionals alike.
- Presents convincing “success stories” that encourage application of AI-powered tools to civil engineering
- Provides a wealth of valuable technical information to address and resolve many challenging construction problems
- Illustrates the most recent shifts in thinking and practice for sustainable construction
Academics and researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students in the fields of civil/structural/construction/environmental/chemical/materials engineering and architecture, R&D specialists in industry, professional engineers, data scientists, materials scientists
