The proceedings of Towards a Sustainable Construction Future address a diverse range of topics within civil engineering, construction and geomatics. The volume explores themes spanning emerging developments in AI and new technologies to the practical essentials of recycling and waste management, and from the ethical frameworks of construction economics and ethics to the exactness and accuracy of geomatics and surveying. It seeks to address traditional gaps between design, construction, management, and innovative geospatial technologies, highlighting the synergies required for genuine innovation in the sector.The book presents the latest research contributions from international researchers, academics, engineers, policymakers, and experts on topics focused on advancing sustainable construction and building a future that is not only modern and resilient, but also fundamentally sustainable for generations to come. The proceedings are organised into seven thematic chapters. Experts in each field were invited to provide an introductory overview of each chapter setting the context for the papers and outlining key themes before exploring specific areas in greater detail.The chapters cover: AI and Emerging Technology (AET), Recycling and Waste Management (RWM), Repair, Rework and Rebuilding (RRR), Construction Economics and Ethics (CEE), Energy, Water and Resources (EWR), Advances in Sustainable Performance (ASP), and Geomatics and Surveying (GMS).Together, the chapters provide a valuable and up-to-date source of information for students, researchers, engineers, and decision makers engaged in discussions on sustainable construction and its future development. They also offer valuable recommendations and insights on improving the

This volume presents a wide-ranging review of the latest developments in concrete technology that have been largely missing from the global conference circuit. It the first major international event under the auspices of the Institute of Concrete Technology (ICT) and is appropriately located in the Middle East at the heart of a construction boom.Themes covered include admixture technology, durability, mix design, special cements and supplementary materials, reinforced concrete and sustainability. The 39 papers provide interesting theory and applicable practice blended with research findings – from the application of 3D printing to performance-based specifications and the role of concrete in the development of Oman – to produce a volume of value to many engineers and technologists.Founded in 1972, The Institute of Concrete Technology (ICT)’s mission is to preserve and promote concrete technology as a recognised engineering discipline and consolidate the professional status of practising concrete technologists worldwide. It is the concrete sector’s professional development body, operating internationally, with some 500 members in more than 30 countries. It is an awarding body for qualifications in concrete technology and a facilitator of continuing professional development (CPD) and networking opportunities.Our partner in this conference, The Military Technical College in Muscat, Oman, was established with the intent of becoming a Center of Excellence in engineering education. Located in one purpose-built, state-of-the-art, well-resourced center, the intent is that MTC will be amongst the world's best in the field of military and applied non-military technological education and training providers in the world.
