This book presents the select proceedings of the international conference on Sustainable Practices and Innovations in Civil Engineering 2021 (SPICE 2021). The topics covered include the addition and replacement of cementitious materials in concrete, thereby enhancing the strength and durability characteristics of concrete, instrumentation and testing in structural engineering, ground improvement techniques, water management, waste management, and energy efficiency and sustainability in construction. It also includes few papers in the area of environmental civil engineering and discusses key issues in the field of water resources and the impact of COVID-19 on the construction industry. This book is a valuable reference to the students, researchers, and professionals in the field of civil engineering.

Dr. Sivakumar Naganathan is currently the professor and head of the department of Civil Engineering, Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering, Chennai, India. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirapalli, in 1993, and Masters in Structural Engineering from the same institution in 1997. He obtained his Ph.D. in Concrete Technology from the University of Malaya, Malaysia, in 2010. He has got more than 25 years of experience in institutions in India and Malaysia. He has published more than 75 research papers in leading international journals and 9 monograms. He is a certified international professional engineer, charted engineer and fellow of the Institution of Engineers India, and, a graduate member of ICE, UK. His research interests include concrete technology, alternate cementitious material, waste utilization, controlled low strength materials, and strengthening of structures.

Professor Dato' Ir Dr Kamal Nasharuddin Mustapha, FASc, is currently the vice-chancellor of University Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), Malaysia. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Civil and Structural Engineering from the University of Sheffield, UK, in 1984. Then in 1986, he received his master's degree in Structural Engineering from Heriot-Watt University, Scotland, and his Ph.D. in Structural Fire Engineering from the University of Aston, UK, in 1994. He had also completed his Postgraduate Diploma in Syariah at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and ASEAN Senior Management Development Program under Harvard Business School. His research interest is in the area of reinforced concrete columns in fire, building forensic, cylindrical shell, flat slab, cold-formed channel columns, and pretensioned inverted t-beams with circular web openings. Additionally, since the mid-2000s, he is involved in research dealing with a statistical model, optimization, and safety assessment in the workplace.

Dr. Thangaraj Palanisamy is currently working as an assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, India. He has published 113 articles in journals and conference proceedings at the national and international levels.
