This industry consumes large amounts of raw materials, such as stone, timber, water, etc. Additionally, infrastructure should provide service over many years without safety problems. Therefore, their correct design, construction, maintenance, and dismantling are essential to reducing economic, environmental, and societal consequences. That is why promoting sustainable construction has recently become extremely important. To help address and resolve these types of questions, this book explores new ways of reducing the environmental impacts caused by the construction sector, as well promotes social progress and economic growth. The chapters collect the papers included in the "Sustainable Construction" Special Issue of the Sustainability journal. The papers cover a wide spectrum of issues related to the use of sustainable materials in construction, the optimization of designs based con sustainable indicators, the life-cycle assessment, the decision-making processes that integrate economic, social, and environmental aspects, and the promotion of durable materials that reduce future maintenance.Technology: general issuesbicsscaggressive environmentalbedoanalytic hierarchy process (AHP)apartment housingautomation robotbio-flexibio-inspirationbridgesburdenchloride corrosionCO2 emissionscompetitive advantageconstructionconstruction processcorporate sustainabilitycracked RC materialDesign for sustainabilitydurabilityelectrochemical test methodsenvironmental effectsexterior wall paintingfly ashFSCfunctiongraphene nanoplateletsHarbin-Dalian Passenger Dedicated Line (PDL)high-speed railway (HSR)Life Cycle Assessmentlife cycle costlife cycle thinkinglife-cycle assessmentmodern slaverynitric acidoptimizationperformance evaluationpiezo-resistivitypreventive measuresrebar corrosionReCiPereinforced concreteresourcerheological propertiesSDGsself-sensingSocial Life Cycle Analysisstructural health monitoringsulphuric acidsupply networkssurface urban heat islandsustainabilitysustainability assessmentsustainable business strategiessustainable concretesustainable constructionsustainable developmentultra fine fly ashunascertained measureurban regenerationTechnology: general issuesYepes Víctoredt1296141García-Segur TatianaedtYepes VíctorothGarcía-Segur TatianaothBOOK9910557642003321Sustainable Construction3027113UNINA
