This book explores the convergence of cutting-edge engineering techniques, innovative design approaches, and fundamental ecological principles to address the challenges associated with sustainable infrastructure, including green construction, resilient urban planning, integration of smart systems, low-carbon emissions, and waste reduction. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of sustainable infrastructure, such as eco-friendly building materials, energy-efficient systems, and waste management practices, supported by case studies, illustrated processes, and detailed technical explanations.Key featuresAlignment with the central theme of eco-smart infrastructure, emphasizing sustainability, innovative technologies, and global best practicesDiscussion of critical aspects of climate-resilient infrastructureCoverage of essential topics such as eco-friendly materials, waste management, and life-cycle assessment to address key challenges in sustainable infrastructureExploration of smart waste management systemsReview of real-world case studies supported by detailed technical explanationsThis book is intended for graduate students and researchers in civil engineering, infrastructure development, sustainability, and urban planning.

This book presents front-line advance in the future of infrastructure development, focusing on transforming traditional construction practices. The authors explore a range of innovative methods and materials poised to revolutionize the construction industry, in particular new concrete materials and mix designs with detail on their composition, properties, and applications in construction. The book also discusses utilization of construction and demolition waste materials, demonstrating their potential to mitigate environmental impact while enhancing the sustainability of infrastructure projects. Readers will find particular interest in chapters dedicated to geotextile for sustainable ground improvements and modified bitumen for pavements, providing comprehensive coverage of these advanced techniques and their implications for infrastructure resilience and longevity. Furthermore, the section on utilization of pond ash in concrete and the innovative approach of maximizing electronic waste in concrete production underscore the authors’ commitment to sustainable material practices. By presenting a diverse array of novel technologies and sustainable practices, this volume equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the evolving landscape of infrastructure development.
