Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue entitled “Advances in Smart Construction” aims to explore the latest innovations and developments in the field of smart construction, focusing on the integration of advanced technologies and methodologies to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and safety of infrastructure constructions. This Issue seeks to gather a collection of high-quality research articles, reviews, and case studies. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a broad range of topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Development and implementation of innovative smart building materials and technologies.
- Advancements in digital twin technology for construction/infrastructure applications.
- Utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to optimize construction processes and infrastructure development.
- Integration of green technologies to enhance environmental sustainability throughout infrastructure development.
- Deployment of advanced sensors to optimize building operations or monitor structural health.
Contributions may also cover innovative construction techniques for predictive maintenance, as well as the challenges and solutions in adopting these technologies at scale. This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to disseminate their insights and discoveries in smart construction. We welcome submissions that introduce new frameworks, models, or applications with the potential to significantly influence the construction industry.
