Full Description
This volume on civil engineering innovations for sustainable communities with net zero targets aligns with the United Nations sustainable development goals in the context of civil engineering innovations. Major topics covered include hydrological alterations under climate change, smart water management, sustainable slope stability solutions, sustainable water management and climate-smart agriculture, conservation of wetlands, influence of phase change materials on thermal properties, building information modeling (BIM) for sustainable and affordable construction, and so forth.
Features:
Combines concepts of civil engineering and sustainable development for future infrastructures
Includes hydrological alterations under climate change impacts
Covers prudent fiduciary discipline and effective cost management in the construction of buildings and critical infrastructure
Discusses BIM and cost-effective sustainable construction
Reviews hybrid artificial intelligence in civil infrastructure to attain SDGs #9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure) and #11 (sustainable cities and communities)
This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in civil engineering, sustainable development, risk management, GIS, and water.
