Summary
Details

In recent years, the world of civil engineering plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable development by addressing the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure and systems that minimize environmental impact, promote economic development, and enhance the quality of life for present and future generations. By adopting environmentally responsible practices, considering long-term impacts, and engaging with the community, civil engineers can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient build environment that considers not only the technical aspects of a project, but also its broader social, economic, and environmental impacts. Sustainable Development and the Evolution of Civil Engineering characterizes the different academic areas of civil engineering, demonstrating its evolution and relation with sustainable development. It promotes understanding about the dynamics, challenges, and opportunities for the recent and new decades regarding the evolution of the world of civil engineering and sustainable development. Covering topics such as construction, resilient infrastructure, and diagnostics, this book is a valuable resource for academicians, researchers, policymakers, environmentalists, scientists, technicians, decision makers, practitioners, and students.
