Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The scope of this Special Issue covers innovative technology applications in construction and infrastructure. It also presents theories, methods and cases of new technologies. New construction technologies can allow for relevant academics and those working in industry to conduct more innovative, faster and more sustainable projects. The final goal of this Special Issue is to advance sustainable development in the industry by achieving successful application of new technologies. Construction technology is a collective terminology that includes many different types of innovations. Cutting-edge ideas and methods will be the main focus, and the practical and theoretical topics associated with construction technology will also be a core area of this Special Issue.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovation in buildings, civil and infrastructure engineering;
- Virtual technologies, including BIM, AR, VR and the Metaverse;
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and construction robotics;
- Offsite construction and design for manufacture and assembly;
- Renewable energy and power plant construction;
- Smart database and cloud communication in supply chains;
- Blockchain and information security;
- Unmanned aerial vehicles;
- Additive technology and 3DP construction;
- Data-driven analysis in construction.
