Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Civil Engineering, ICOCE 2022, Singapore
The book presents a collection of articles from the 6th International Conference on Civil Engineering, 2022, held in Singapore. Important advances in the application of newly discovered technologies are highlighted in order to address many of society's contemporary problems in resilience, energy production, security, and bioproducts. Multiple fields of inquiry address the use of global engineering methods to promote governmental and industrial policies that reduce pollution, protect existing structures from natural disasters as well as discuss successful engineering management practices in a variety of countries throughout the world. This book consists of refereed submissions submitted by international scholars from multiple disciplines discussing emerging topics in civil and environmental engineering. The emphasis is on ideas that can influence public policy to promote energy management, air and water pollution control, and green infrastructure. The topics covered provide an excellent beginning for interested students, researchers, and industry professionals to understand emerging trends in technical research on a worldwide basis.
