Recent Advances in Intelligent Infrastructure and Construction Engineering

This special issue belongs to the section “Construction Management, and Computers & Digitization“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Emerging technologies, such as digital twins, computer vision, natural language processing, the Internet of Things, and blockchain, have been driving transformative changes in the infrastructure and construction engineering industry. Within this landscape, the advent of intelligent construction has become increasingly significant, addressing the limitations of traditional construction methods such as time-consuming processes and labour-intensive tasks. As intelligent construction enters a phase of rapid growth, it brings forth numerous opportunities, accompanied by significant challenges that demand further breakthroughs.

In this Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Intelligent Infrastructure and Construction Engineering”, we encourage researchers and scholars to share their recent research results related to smart construction. The main topics covered by this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Civil structural safety and health monitoring;
  • Intelligence application in construction;
  • Four-dimensional BIM and construction simulation;
  • Civil engineering advancements;
  • Construction robots;
  • Blockchain application in civil engineering;
  • Construction environment perception;
  • Computer simulation
  • Health and safety monitoring and measuring;
  • Measurement and risk warning.
