Technology and Organization Applied to Civil Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Modern construction is not only about impressive-looking buildings but, above all, the intelligent implementation of new technologies, materials, and correct management at every stage of the construction process. From the planning stage to the execution and subsequent maintenance of buildings, modern construction should use innovations to increase efficiency, reduce the impact on the environment, and improve the functionality of buildings. The modern world of construction is witnessing a revolution thanks to technological progress as well as modern management in construction when creating projects and during construction. From design to construction, modern technologies and new trends in construction management offer solutions that make the construction process faster, safer, and more energy efficient. Innovations in the construction industry allow for better standards in a shorter time and for building more durable and economical facilities both during construction and during subsequent maintenance of the facilities.

This Special Issue on “Technology and Organization Applied to Civil Engineering” welcomes submissions of recent research work on this promising area of civil engineering.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The technology of construction works;
• Management in construction works;
• The preparation, programming, and planning of construction investments;
• Modern materials and technologies in construction;
• The planning and implementation of construction works, including automation and digitization;
• The operation of building facilities (the management of building properties and maintenance of building resources, including modernization, reconstruction, etc.);
• Economics in planning, designing, and implementing construction investments;
• Machine learning in civil engineering;
• The implementation and development of modern socio-economic concepts in construction projects;
• Scientific models and methods in research on construction process engineering;
• Supporting decision making in enterprise and construction project management.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
