 | Advances in Construction Management This book presents the select proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Construction Materials and Management (ACMM 2021). It discusses the recent innovations towards construction management, building technology and new materials in practice in civil engineering. Various topics covered include architecture and urban planning, smart materials and structures, GIS in construction application, transportation materials and engineering, geotechnical applications in construction, energy and sustainability, green building technologies and materials and construction management. The book will be useful for beginners, researchers and professionals working in the area of civil engineering.
