Innovative Trends in Civil Engineering for Sustainable Development (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Civil Engineers are the builders of the nation. They provide basic infrastructure facilities needed for the society. While providing these basic infrastructure facilities, a civil engineer is concerned with four aspects, namely, Quality, Productivity, Safety and Economy (QPSE). There has been a noticeable change in the environment within which civil engineers carry out their work. There is a growing concern on the adverse consequences of the development activities. Global warming and climate change and their impacts on the various sectors of the society are also of major concern. In this changing environment the specifications for meeting the QPSE requirement are becoming more and more complicated. A multitude of threats confront us in our effort to achieve sustainability. Civil engineers have always been looking for innovative tools and techniques for solving the challenging problems that they face during planning, analysis, design and construction of civil engineering structures. This conference is aimed to provide a forum to all Civil Engineers to deliberate on the innovative tools and techniques that are needed to face the challenge of sustainable development.
