In the recent decade, information technology (IT), including computing, communication, and sensing technology, has advanced extensively and radically transformed construction processes and built-environment management. Furthermore, the recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics have enabled exploiting such data, making data-driven decisions, and improving the efficiency of operations. Papers in this special collection were invited from papers presented at the 2019 ASCE International Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering (i3CE), held in Atlanta, GA, June 17-19, 2019. The papers provide a comprehensive overview and discussion of recent technological and scientific advances and trends in the rapidly evolving IT application field. This special collection is focused on, but not limited to, the following research themes in IT: construction safety and productivity improvement using wearable sensors, infrastructure health monitoring, Building Information Model (BIM) interoperability, automated construction using natural language processing, and Internet of things (IoT) for smart and sustainable built environments.
