Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Against the backdrop of a global imperative to address carbon footprints and minimize environmental impacts, the field of civil engineering is at the forefront of embracing sustainable practices. This Special Issue, “Sustainable Applications of Advanced Technology in Engineering Structures”, is dedicated to exploring the synergies between cutting-edge technology and sustainable engineering.
The imperative for sustainability in construction is underscored by criteria such as efficient resource utilization, minimal waste generation, the creation of environments conducive to health, and care for the environment. Recent research and technological innovations have spurred advancements in (i) novel building materials, (ii) transformative construction processes, and (iii) integrated design procedures that prioritize energy efficiency and reduced waste.
This Special Issue aims to delve into the nexus of technology and sustainability in engineering structures, emphasizing areas such as:
- Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Building Materials: investigating materials that align with new environmental goals.
- Integration of Advanced Technologies in Construction Processes: exploring innovations like 3D printing for enhanced sustainability.
- Smart Design Strategies: emphasizing integrated design procedures for energy efficiency.
- Waste Reduction and Management: highlighting approaches to minimize or repurpose construction waste.
- Resilient Structures through Technology: showcasing advancements that can ensure structures stand the test of time.
We invite contributions from experts and enthusiasts alike to illuminate this Special Issue with diverse perspectives, shaping the discourse on sustainable applications of advanced technology in engineering structures.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
