Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The core objective of civil engineering construction and management is to ensure that all kinds of civil engineering projects can be carried out efficiently and smoothly, including their planning, design, construction, and operation, ultimately realizing the high quality, high efficiency, and sustainability of the project. The field not only emphasizes civil engineering technology innovation and application but also pays more attention to advanced theory and scientific innovation. Therefore, civil engineering construction and management focuses on green building, intelligent construction, new structural systems, engineering structural safety, low-carbon material R&D and application, new engineering equipment R&D and application, key technologies in modern transportation engineering, engineering fine management, intelligent operation and maintenance in the field of civil engineering, etc., to provide the industry with cutting-edge theoretical guidance and practical references, and to promote the sustained development and technological advancement of the civil engineering discipline.

We sincerely invite you to submit high-quality, cutting-edge articles on the topic of civil engineering construction and management. This topic encompasses a wide range of subjects, including but not limited to the following:

  • Engineering construction and management;
  • Innovative application of green building materials;
  • Intelligent building technology;
  • Innovation of mechanized construction technology;
  • Refined management of project progress;
  • Effective control of construction quality;
  • Structural safety assessment and improvement;
  • Building carbon emission monitoring, prediction, evaluation, and control methods.

This paper investigates the effects of the basalt-fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) and polyethylene (PE) hybrid fiber ratio on the mechanical properties and durability of engineered cementitious composites (ECC). First, four different PE-BFRP hybrid fiber ECC mixtures were systematically prepared by controlling the fiber volume ratio of PE and BFRP fibers. The workability and mechanical properties of the hybrid fiber ECC (HFECC) were then evaluated using flowability tests and multi-scale mechanical tests, including compressive strength, flexural strength, bending toughness, and tensile performance. After that, the durability of HFECC with different fiber ratios was comprehensively assessed through freeze–thaw cycle tests and rapid ion migration tests. Finally, the interface morphology of fibers within the matrix was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that an appropriate hybrid of PE and BFRP fibers can synergistically enhance the crack resistance and toughness of ECC, improving its failure mode. The best performance in terms of flowability and mechanical properties was observed for the HFECC mixture with 1.30% PE fiber volume and 0.30% BFRP fiber volume. With the increase in BFRP fiber content, the freeze–thaw resistance and chloride ion erosion resistance of HFECC were gradually enhanced. This study provides experimental and theoretical support for the design and engineering application of high-performance hybrid fiber ECC materials. Full article

The trend of global warming remains severe. As one of the major sources of carbon emissions, the construction industry still requires large-scale and effective transformations. This study, grounded in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) theory, carbon emission factor calculation methods, the Monte Carlo method, and feedforward neural network algorithms, develops a carbon emission prediction model based on the carbon emissions generated by typical resource consumption. The model is established in the context of typical carbon emission patterns observed during the construction phase of subway stations in China. Furthermore, the feasibility of the proposed model is validated through its application to specific engineering projects. The results demonstrate that (1) the newly developed carbon emission model can accurately predict the carbon emissions associated with the construction phase of subway stations in China; (2) actual carbon emission calculations in construction projects require the integration of data from multiple sources to ensure comprehensive coverage and avoid omissions; and (3) during the construction phase of subway stations, the use of concrete and steel constitutes significant sources of carbon emissions.
