Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present confirms that many challenges will continue to be faced in the future by civil infrastructures, mainly concerning the environment and society. Extreme events associated with climate change and the general degradation of natural habitats are becoming more frequent and significantly impacting society. The Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations are more urgent than ever. Civil engineering can contribute to meeting current and emerging natural and social needs.
Civil infrastructures are a valuable asset. The availability and quality of buildings, bridges, dams, tunnels, roads, railways, and airfields are crucial for the development of society. However, civil infrastructures are very exposed and susceptible to various natural actions. Green and intelligent technologies can promote sustainability and resilience, mitigating environmental and social impacts.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences aims to highlight the role of engineering in the global effort to address the challenges of civil infrastructures to meet emerging environmental and societal needs. Researchers, professionals, and students are invited to submit original papers on advances in this topic.
