This book includes peer-reviewed articles from the 7th International Conference on Geotechnics, Civil Engineering and Structures (CIGOS 2024) held on April 4-5 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It highlights recent advances in planning, architecture, and construction for sustainable development. The book features a compilation of articles presented at the conference, bringing together researchers, academics, and practitioners from around the world. The topics covered range from Planning, Architecture, and Industrial Design to Construction, Materials, Structures, and Digital Technologies, as well as Geoscience, Environment, and Energy, and Transportation, Infrastructure, Management, and Investment. The book emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to sustainable development in order to address environmental, social, and economic challenges faced by societies worldwide. It provides insights into best practices and innovative approaches for achieving sustainabledevelopment goals, such as reducing the carbon footprint, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting the use of eco-friendly materials, and implementing sustainable construction techniques. Overall, this book offers valuable knowledge and advice to professionals, researchers, and policymakers engaged in sustainable development initiatives.
Dr. Cuong Ha-Minh is currently an Assistant Professor at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris-Saclay, Université Paris-Saclay (France). His research interests include mechanical behavior of composite structures up to the final rupture, computational mechanics and their applications in industrial design and manufacture. He has been Chairman of the International Conference series on Geotechnics, Civil Engineering and Structures (CIGOS) since 2015.
Dr. Cao Hung Pham is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney (Australia). His main research areas are theoretical/experimental structural mechanics and stability analysis with particular application to steel structural members and systems, as well as cold-formed steel/aluminum structures. Much of his research has been translated into design rules in North American Specification and Australian/New Zealand Standard for Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.
Dr. Hanh T.H Vu is currently Deputy Dean of Architecture Department, University of Architecture Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). Her main research interests are in the areas of sustainable development and conservation of cities, public spaces and buildings. As an educator, she has over 10-year experience in development and assessment of training programs in Urban and regional Planning, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture and Architecture, both undergraduate to postgraduate programs, of UAH and of other universities in Vietnam.
Dr. Dat Vu Khoa Huynh is currently a Senior Geotechnical Adviser at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (Norway). His background includes over 20 years of experience in geotechnical consulting and research, with expertise in geotechnical engineering, foundation design, natural processes (landslide hazards, subsidence, and erosion), as well as slope stability and embankments. He has contributed to the development of several state-of-the-art constitutive models thathave been implemented in various computing programs and used by both the research community and industry.
