Energy, economic, and social concerns are becoming increasingly important due to climate change, threats to energy security, depletion of traditional resources, and threats to human health. Integration of green resources and the adoption of clean technologies are of strategic importance for civil engineering. To preserve natural resources and promote responsible engineering, it is essential to be aware of the clean technologies emerging in the field of civil engineering. Clean Technologies and Sustainable Development in Civil Engineering addresses clean technologies for the sustainable future of practical applications from civil engineering. It presents the latest research results and state-of-the-art methodologies that address top concerns and establish cooperative research and development worldwide. Covering topics such as green urbanization, sustainable waste management, and solar thermal energy, this premier reference source is an indispensable resource for civil engineers, scientists, environmentalists, students and educators of higher education, specialists, libraries, researchers, and academicians.

The 3rd International Symposium on Nanotechnology in Construction (NICOM 3) follows the highly successful NICOM 1 (Paisley, UK 2003) and NICOM 2 (Bilbao, Spain 2005) Symposia. The NICOM3 symposium was held in Prague, Czech Republic from May 31 to June 2, 2009 under the auspices of the Czech Technical University in Prague. It was a cross-disciplinary event, bringing together R&D experts and users from different fields all with interest in nanotechnology and construction. The conference was aimed at: Understanding of internal structures of existing construction materials at nano-scale Modification at nano-scale of existing construction materials. Production and properties of nanoparticulate materials, nanotubes and novel polymers. Modeling and simulation of nanostructures. Instrumentation, techniques and metrology at nano-scale. Health and safety issues and environmental impacts related to nanotechnology during research, manufacture and product use. Review of current legislation. Societal and commercial impacts of nanotechnology in construction, their predictions and analysis.
