Preface
Sustainable development is an urgent demand of the society. Over the years, the
Civil Engineering profession involved in the development of the society has been
reported to consume the natural and energy resources indiscriminately, thereby
requiring an urgent introspection aiming towards achieving sustainable develop-
ment.Though,theconceptbeingageold,ithasgainedprominenceinrecenttimes,
especially in the field of Civil Engineering. Today sustainable solutions in Civil
Engineeringdonotstopwithalternativematerialsbutgobeyondintermsofenergy
efficiency in buildings, efficient and eco-friendly transportation systems, efficient
water resource management, cleaner environmental processes, sustainable geosys-
temstonameafew.Inlightofsuchprogressinachievingsustainabledevelopment,
a platform is needed for all stakeholders concerned to present, discuss, cooperate,
redefine and innovate sustainable solutions for the continuance of the human civ-
ilizations to higher levels of sophistication and technological advancement. With
this intention of providing a sound platform for sustainability research, this con-
ference,theFirstInternationalConferenceonSustainablePracticesandInnovations
in Civil Engineering (SPICE) 2019, was conceived and organized by the
Department of Civil Engineering, SSN College of Engineering, Chennai, Tamil
Nadu, India, on 26 and 27 March 2019.
SPICE 2019 focussed on achieving sustainability in Civil Engineering through
materials, technology, processes and practices adopted in the domain. The con-
ferencewitnessedparticipationfrombothIndiaandabroadwithauthorspresenting
theirresearchinthetechnicalsessionsoftheconferenceoverthe2days.Thisbook
titled Sustainable Practices and Innovations in Civil Engineering documents the
32 research articles selected for publication covering different sub-streams of
Civil Engineering, including Structural Engineering, Construction Materials,
Environmental Engineering, Water Resources and Geotechnical Engineering.
Sustainability and sustainable development have started to receive attention in
developing economies as well as in recent times. However, the related efforts to
achieve the same have not attained expected levels. Thus, it became imperative to
compile the various sustainability issues and solution prospects in different
sub-streams ofCivil Engineering. Thisbookwill beuseful tostudents, researchers

whole Springer team for their full support and cooperation at various stages of the
preparation and production of this book.
