Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Net-Zero Built Environment - Innovations in Materials, Structures, and Management Practices (Net-Zero Future 2025)

This open access book provides the latest fundamental and practical advances in reducing the built environment’s carbon footprint based on a collection of papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Net-Zero Civil Infrastructures: Innovations in Materials, Structures, and Management Practices (Net-Zero Future 2025), held at Cape Town, South Africa, November 2025. This book presents research investigations and case studies spanning five interrelated domains: New materials and material preparation processes for zero (or negative) carbon footprint, Robotic construction technologies for minimum formwork and on-site activities, Novel structural designs and details for optimal performance with the least material usage, Advanced condition assessment and health monitoring methods for the longest service life, and Innovative life-cycle analysis and policy-making strategies for effective civil infrastructure management.
