The Construction Research Congress (CRC) is one of the prime international conferences in construction engineering and management. It is held every two years, providing one university the privilege to serve and host peers from around the globe to facilitate an interactive exchange of ideas and research findings. CRC 2020 was hosted by Arizona State University (ASU) and its Del E. Webb School of Construction, in Tempe, Arizona, on March 8-10, 2020. The theme for this conference was “Construction Research and Innovation to Transform Society.” As the built environment, including civil, industrial, building, and cyber infrastructure, evolves to support sustainable and resilient communities of the future, the construction industry will need to evolve. New infrastructure system developments are already transforming society in terms of safety, health, economics, and quality of life. The conference proceedings contain a record number of 481 peer-reviewed technical papers, which stemmed from almost 900 abstract submissions. All submissions went through a two-step review process with a minimum of two external reviewers per paper, by a scientific committee of more than 500 international construction experts. This special collection builds on some of the best CRC papers, whose authors were invited to submit journal articles in the following areas: Infrastructure Systems and Sustainability; Computer Applications in Construction; Safety, Workforce, and Education; Project Management and Controls, Materials, and Contracts.
