This issue presents advanced research in geotechnical engineering, structural optimization, construction management, contemporary architecture, sustainable materials, and digital transformation in infrastructure systems. The published studies estimate the bearing capacity of driven piles in sandy-clay soils using radial basis function neural networks and multilayer perceptrons, and examine the role of artificial intelligence in the economic optimization of steel structural design.

The issue further explores construction management optimization through modern sustainable and lightweight construction methods, and analyzes postmodern design principles in the development of recreational and tourism complexes. The impact of groundwater exploitation on crustal stress variations and increased seismic activity in Iranian plains is also assessed.

Additional contributions investigate the influence of sustainable materials and modern construction techniques on residential energy efficiency, evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated Digital Twin and AI framework for real-time cost and schedule optimization in civil projects, and provide a comparative assessment of stone columns and cement grouting techniques on shear strength improvement and settlement reduction in saturated clay soils using numerical modeling and field data.

All contributions have undergone a rigorous peer-review process and aim to advance geotechnical safety, energy-efficient design, intelligent project management, and sustainable infrastructure development through technically robust and data-driven methodologies.
