Welcome Message

The Institute for Infrastructure Engineering and Sustainable Management (IIESM),

Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has over the years been instrumental in
providing a platform for several collaboration research program and publications
involving all Civil Engineering disciplines. IIESM has so far focused on research
with the aims to solve infrastructure and environmental engineering problems with
a more sustainable way.
IIESM in collaboration with Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia; Mahatma
Gandhi University, India and BRE Centre for Innovative Construction Materials,
UK are organizing a 3-day International Civil and Infrastructure Engineering
Conference 2014, (InCIEC 2014). The conference is supported by IEEE Malaysia
IE/IA Joint Chapter dated from 28th September to 1st October 2014 in Kota
Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.
It is hoped that InCIEC 2014 will be a useful platform for researchers to present
their ndings in the areas of multidisciplinary related to civil engineering issues
emphasizes on concrete waste and earthquake engineering, construction project
management, fluvial and river engineering dynamics, geotechnical engineering,
innovative construction materials and structures, micro and nanotechnology in
construction and civil engineering, sustainable environment, timber engineering and
transportation systems, infrastructure and intelligent transport. Besides, this conference is also a platform for researchers to establish new interfaces, compare the
ndings, benchmark their work, exchange views, and widen the scope and range
of their research activities. The conference is also looking forward to new peers in
diverse areas of expertise.
On behalf of the organising committee we would like to take this opportunity to
express our gratitude to all reviewers and participants for their support to ensure the
success of this event. We also would like to thank all the authors, session chairpersons, and delegates for the great support and contribution given. Last but not
least, a special thank goes to the organising committee, who have been working

About IIESM

The Institute for Infrastructure Engineering and Sustainable Management (IIESM)

was ofcially approved by the Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia as an
Institute on the 7th of January 2009. The formation of this Institute would further
expedite research and publication activities at the university. IIESM focuses on
research in all civil engineering disciplines that enlighten a broader scope in
research and engineering education. Our aim is to solve infrastructure and environmental engineering problems in a more sustainable way and introduce new stateof-the-art technology.
It is a merger of 10 research excellence centres which are:
