Construction & Building Technology (CBT)
Section Information
Construction and Building Technology focus on the planning, design, construction, and performance of buildings and infrastructure systems. The field integrates civil engineering, architecture, materials science, and project management to improve safety, durability, efficiency, and sustainability in the built environment.
Current research addresses advanced construction materials, smart buildings, digital construction methods, building information modeling, energy-efficient design, and resilient infrastructure. Innovations in prefabrication, automation, sustainable materials, and performance monitoring are transforming modern construction practices.
This section publishes experimental studies, case analyses, modeling research, technological developments, and review articles related to construction methods, building systems, materials performance, and sustainable building solutions.
