Preface
The rapidly developing world, economic intensification and the evolution of urban development
have caused a massive surge in environmental pollution, energy consumption and carbon emission.
Construction plays a significant role in the emergence of ecological problems where specific attention
has to be devoted to develop sustainable and green solutions in the design of buildings and structures.
The main aim of the First International Conference on Sustainable Buildings and Structures (ICSBS
2015) is to cultivate research interaction between academics, researchers and practicing professionals
from different communities in the multidisciplinary context of sustainability in built environment and
infrastructure system. The main themes of the ICSBS 2015 centre on the state-of-the-art research in
sustainable structural engineering (i.e. concrete, steel and composite structures), structural durability and
hazard mitigation, sustainable building design and innovative technologies as well as building information
modelling and innovative urban development or regeneration. The ICSBS 2015 publication consists of
37 high standard full length peer reviewed papers and I am grateful to the authors and co-authors for their
contributions to this volume. I would to take this opportunity to thank the Local Organising Committee
and Technical Review Committee for helping make ICSBS 2015 a successful event. I would also like to
thank Funding for Advanced Academic Exchange Activities of Suzhou sponsored by Suzhou Associa-
tion For Science and Technology, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and Suzhou University of Science
and Technology for their financial supports.

On October 29–31, 2015, the First International Conference on Sustainable Buildings and Structures
(ICSBS 2015) was held at the Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University, Suzhou, P.R. China. The conference
was organized by Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University and Suzhou University of Science and Technology
and sponsored by Suzhou municipal government.
A total of 47 abstracts and 39 manuscripts submitted to this conference, and 37 papers were finally
accepted after a strict review process conducted by the International Scientific Committee of the conference.
The topics of the conference covered a wide spectrum related to the sustainability and structural research
areas, such as Sustainable construction materials and structural applications, sustainable building design,
construction and maintenance, etc. This conference proceedings include 3 keynote presentations and
34 conference papers.
The Chairmen would like to thank all the participants and authors for their contributions. We also
would like to warmly acknowledge the guidance and cooperation provided by the International Scientific
Committee, the support provided by the Local Organising Committee and the financial support provided
by the Suzhou municipal government. Particular appreciation is extended to Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool
University and Suzhou University of Science and Technology for hosting the conference.
