This book presents the select proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Construction Technology and Management (ACTM 2021) and explores recent and innovative developments in all aspects of civil engineering. Advanced construction technologies such as 3D printing, intelligently built environment, use of artificial intelligence, smart structures, green buildings, advanced and engineered materials for producing green concrete, and many more such topics are covered in this book. The advanced management tools such as building information modeling, augmented reality, advanced task management software, and one of the most recent technological advancements are drones, which are changing the face of surveying and security are also explored. This book will be useful for researchers, academicians, and practitioners working in the area of civil engineering and allied fields.

Prof. Yusuf A. Mehta is currently a Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Rowan University, USA; and Director, Centre of Research and Education in Advanced Transportation Engineering Systems. He obtained his B.S. from the University of Bombay, India; M.S. from the University of Oklahoma, Norman; and Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University. Since coming to Rowan, Dr. Mehta, has received approximately $25 million dollars of external funding in pavements and materials. He has extensive experience working on several research projects with New Jersey, Florida, Wisconsin and Rhode Island departments of transportations, Federal Highway Administration and Federal Aviation Administration, and Department of Defense.  He has also led the effort to acquire the Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS) that can simulate 10-20 years of traffic in a few years.  Dr. Mehta has received several teaching awards, such as ASCE-NJ Educator of the Year Award, May 2014 and the 2012 Louis J. Pignataro Memorial Transportation Engineering Education Award.  The award was for outstanding record of achievement in transportation engineering research, and undergraduate and graduate engineering education.  He has received the Mid-Atlantic American Society of Engineering Education Section Distinguished Teaching Award, West Point, 2008. He has also received the faculty research achievement award in 2014.  Under the direction of Dr. Mehta, CREATEs has expanded its capabilities to integrate research in Intelligent Transportation Systems, transportation safety, geotechnical engineering, cementitious materials, and Structural engineering by collaborating with faculty members at Rowan University. These collaborations will allow CREATEs to seek research funding in the above mentioned areas. The CREATEs award is approximately $37 M since its inception.  CREATEs provides hands-on experience to sixty undergraduate and graduate students in various fields of transportation.  This expansion has allowed CREATEs to conduct research, education, and outreach in all the above mentioned fields.
