Abstract

The International Conference on Innovative Technology for Smart Construction Materials and Sustainable Infrastructure (ITSCMSI-2022) was successfully held on October 14th and 15th 2022. The ITSCMSI-2022 was organized by Department of Civil Engineering, Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College, Vijayawada, A.P, India. Innovative and sustainable development is one of the leading civilization ideas in the field of Civil Engineering that has gained importance among the researchers in the recent past. In keeping view that the primary objective of the International Conference on Innovative Technology for Smart Construction Materials and Sustainable Infrastructure (ITSCMSI-2022) to provide a platform to the researchers and practitioners from both academia as well as industry to meet and share cutting-edge development in the Civil Engineering in line with the conference theme “Building the World with Innovative Structures towards a Sustainable Future”. The scope of the conference is to gather scientists, practitioners, members of technical committees and users of technical recommendations, to jointly at the same place discuss and envision the future sustainable development of materials, systems and structures in a holistic, global way. Thus, it aims at providing a premier platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Civil Engineering.The conference focuses on latest research in different areas of civil engineering with special emphasis on sustainable construction practices. The main theme of the conference is “Building the World with Innovative Structures towards a Sustainable Future” and it is divided into seven sub-themes:1. Smart materials and sustainable construction,2. Sustainable infrastructure in Structural Engineering3. Sustainable infrastructure in Geotechnical and Transportation Engineering4. Sustainability in Environmental Engineering5. Sustainability in Irrigation, Water Resources and Management6. Sustainability in Construction Management, and7. Remote Sensing and GIS Applications in SustainabilityThe ITSCMSI-2022 received about 120 abstracts from various fields of Civil Engineering and out of which 93 full-length papers were received. The research manuscripts deal with Innovative Technologies and Sustainable Materials in Civil Engineering.Hundreds of attendees, paper presenters, researchers and students have been benefited in many ways from this conference. About 51 scientific papers were presented in the conference by the authors from various countries through online platform. Four eminent and well distinguished experts in the field of civil engineering were invited to deliver their keynote speeches and share their knowledge along with their rich experience in the applications of the advancements in sustainable materials and infrastructure in civil engineering to the participants.In summary, the success of the conference is a team effort. This conference could not be organized without the dedicated efforts from all our committee members and hence I am grateful to all the committee members who worked very hard to make this event a successful one. We would also like to thank all the authors who have submitted their papers to the conference and like to thank the editors and reviewers who have contributed to the thorough review process thereby ensuring quality publication of the conference proceedings. We hope that you will find this conference thought provoking and engrossing, and you had a valuable experience by sharing ideas with others at this conference.SincerelyDr. Hanuma KasaganiCo-ConvenerITSCMSI -2022Email: hanumakasagani@vrsiddhartha.ac.inList of Committes are available in this Pdf.
