New Developments in Intelligent Construction and Operation of Infrastructures

Dear Colleagues,

Infrastructure plays an important role in human activities. Improving the safety and durability of infrastructure becomes a major challenge in the economic development process. The combination of artificial intelligence with engineering construction, structural health monitoring, condition assessment, and performance improvement is an essential way to realize the intelligent construction and operation of infrastructure, which has become a research hotspot and difficulty involving multiple disciplines. At present, with the rapid development of the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and remote sensing, it is inevitable to explore new technologies covering the intelligent construction and operation of infrastructures in the life cycle. For this reason, this topic aims to boost knowledge and development in the intelligent construction and operation of infrastructures through multi-disciplinary works.

The potential topics include (but are not limited to):

• Intelligent structural design;
• Intelligent construction;
• Intelligent operation and maintenance;
• Intelligent disaster prevention;
• Structural earthquake and wind engineering;
• New technologies in the life cycle of infrastructures.
