This book explores the recent advancements in Civil Engineeringpresented and conveyed at the International Conference on Novel Infrastructure Techniques -2025. The book focuses on transformative technologies that drive industrial progress and societal well-being. It engages with presentations covering a diverse range of topics including and not limited to integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in civil engineering domain to enhance infrastructure monitoring, optimize construction processes, and improve safety and maintenance through real-time data analysis and predictive modelling. In earthquake engineering, the focus lies on developing resilient structural designs and seismic monitoring systems to mitigate the impact of earthquakes. Geospatial technology plays a critical role in planning, surveying, and managing civil infrastructure projects through tools such as GIS, remote sensing, and spatial data analysis. Additionally, sustainable construction materials and methods are gaining prominence, emphasizing the use of eco-friendly, durable, and energy-efficient materials along with innovative building techniques to reduce the environmental footprint of construction activities. This comprehensive resource is an essential read for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to stay ahead in the evolving landscape of smart and resilient infrastructure.
