Sustainability in Construction Engineering

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The concept of sustainability expands to all areas of human activity, including construction engineering. Construction engineering is a complex discipline that involves the designing, planning, construction and management of infrastructures. The application of elements of sustainability in any construction (engineering) activity increases the overall level of construction sustainability.

Articles are welcome on this issue, where sustainable solutions in construction engineering that bring economic, social and environmental benefits are offered through a variety of methodologies and tools (e.g. information technologies, life-cycle analysis, multiple criteria decision making methods). Articles that propose new methodologies dealing with construction sustainability issues are also welcome.
