《Smart and Multifunctional Concrete toward Sustainable Infrastructures》是智能与多功能混凝土领域的第一部英文专著 (由Springer出版集团出版) , 全书共包含3个部分共24章, 其中第一部分介绍了智能与多功能混凝土的定义、分类、起源与哲学依据; 第二部分详细介绍了22种具体的智能与多功能混凝土, 包括定义、分类、原理、性能与应用; 第三部分讨论了面向可持续基础设施的智能与多功能混凝土未来面临的挑战与应对策略。该著作不仅梳理了智能与多功能混凝土的历史发展脉络, 而且从“熵”角度阐述了智能与多功能混凝土出现的哲学依据, 同时全面介绍了二十余种智能与多功能混凝土以及已有雏形或正快速发展的新型智能与多功能混凝土, 最后对面向可持续基础设施的智能与多功能混凝土面临的挑战进行了系统分析并提出了应对策略与发展框架。该著作可作为土木工程专业特别是混凝土材料与结构方向学生的学习教材, 也可对智能与多功能混凝土领域的研究者和工程师提供指导和参考。

Smart and Multifunctional Concrete toward Sustainable Infrastructures, published by Springer Group, is the first English monograph in the field of smart and multifunctional concrete, which contains 24 chapters organized into 3 parts. The first part introduces the definition, classification, origin, and philosophical basis of smart and multifunctional concrete. The second part describes 22 specific types of smart and multifunctional concrete in detail, including their definitions, classifications, principles, performances, and applications. The third part discusses the current challenges and strategies of smart and multifunctional concrete towards sustainable infrastructures. This monograph not only summarizes the historical development of smart and multifunctional concrete, but also elaborates on the philosophical basis for the emergence of smart and multifunctional concrete from the perspective of “entropy”. At the same time, it comprehensively introduces more than 20 types of smart and multifunctional concrete, as well as new types of smart and multifunctional concrete that have already been prototyped or are undergoing rapid development. Finally, the challenges of smart and multifunctional concrete towards sustainable infrastructure are systematically analysed, and corresponding strategies and development frameworks are proposed. This monograph can be used as a learning material for students majoring in civil engineering, especially in the field of concrete materials and structures, as well as a guidance and reference for researchers and engineers in the field of smart and multifunctional concrete.
