Artificial Intelligence Applications for Sustainable Construction presents the latest developments in AI and ML technologies applied to real-world civil engineering concerns. 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 engineeringProvides a wealth of valuable technical information to address and resolve many challenging construction problemsIllustrates the most recent shifts in thinking and practice for sustainable construction

Advanced Technologies to Improve Indoor Air Quality comprehensively focuses on state-of-the-art smart systems (IoT, AI/ML, big data, quantum technology) and devices (drones and robots) that facilitate control, management, and enhancement of the quality of air inside buildings. The book also touches upon standards and policies from across the globe and includes an insightful discussion on pressing sustainability issues, such as energy efficiency and climate change adaptation to create a framework without which the transformative potential of the described cutting-edge, technical instrumentation couldn’t be fully appreciated. Finally, current, real-life examples illustrate applicability, bridging the gap between research and practice. Hoping to inspire further works and accomplishments in the field, this unique volume proves to be relevant for audiences from a variety of disciplines whose work or study interests revolve around environmentally-friendly buildings and the wellbeing of their occupants.Provides an overview of the latest technological developments for indoor air quality monitoring, measurement, and managementCovers indoor air quality optimization strategies and mitigation and adaptation measures with an eye to other building performance requirementsFeatures case studies and applied examples for different building types and scales from around the world

Advanced Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrices is an authoritative reference volume that offers an in-depth exploration of FRCM systems, bridging the gap between theory and practical application in the critical domain of structural strengthening and rehabilitation.The book covers the full spectrum of FRCM technology-from material characterization, manufacturing techniques, and mechanical properties to design guidelines and installation methodologies paired with quality control, inspection procedures, and testing protocols. It draws on the latest research to emphasize key innovation aspects, such as emerging material trends, sustainability-specific assessments, integration with advanced computational tools, and performance-related developments. The substantial potential and benefits of FRCM are highlighted through successful implementation examples, comparisons with conventional approaches, and lessons learnt from real-world field use, all of which underscore the systems’ versatility and efficiency.The comprehensive perspective put forward by this international group of highly specialized experts will prove invaluable to researchers, professionals, and advanced students seeking to deepen their understanding and actively contribute to advancing the state of the art in construction practices.
