Preface

Mehran University of Engineering and Technology (MUET) is an ISO-9001 certified institute that has been active in 20 domains of engineering constituting 31 departments, institutes, directorates offering courses in undergraduate and postgraduate studies since 1963. It is emerging as one of the leading universities of the country ranked by Higher Education Commission and Pakistan Engineering Council. The university has academic alliance with leading universities around the globe, and industrial collaboration with various establishments across the country.

In order to provide a platform to all the collaborators coming from academic organizations, policy makers, public and private institutes to discuss their technical and general issues, Mehran UET organizes conferences, workshops and seminars regularly. In this framework, Department of Civil Engineering and Institute of Environmental Engineering & Management hosted “2nd International Conference on Sustainable Development in Civil Engineering” (ICSDC-2019), which was held in Mehran UET, Jamshoro, Pakistan during December 05-07, 2019.

The Department of Civil Engineering is one of the oldest and largest department of the University, which has produced tens of thousands of engineers working diligently in various academia and industrial sectors. It aims to produce top-level engineers who maintain the integrity and glory of their profession.

The aim of ICSDC-2019 is to provide sustainable platform to present and discuss all the latest research and scientific results on various disciplines of Civil and Environmental Engineering, i.e. Structural Engineering, Geo-technical Engineering, Water and wastewater Treatment Technologies, Construction Management, Solid Waste Management, Green Energy Technology etc. This conference provided opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and experiences to establish research and business relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.

ICSDC-2019 has been triumphant in attracted participants from public and private universities, organizations and industries of Pakistan as well as national and international keynote speakers from around the globe.
