With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and urbanization challenges, enhancing the resilience of urban infrastructure has become a critical global priority. Smart materials, with their unique self-sensing, self-healing, and adaptive properties, offer innovative solutions to improve the performance and durability of urban infrastructure systems. This study provides a comprehensive review of the application... more

Against the backdrop of advancing urbanization and frequent extreme environmental disturbances, the demand for resilient urban infrastructure is growing urgent. The integration of smart materials (SMs) and digital twin (DT) technology has become a revolutionary paradigm to overcome the limitations of traditional infrastructure management: SMs endow physical infrastructure with real-time sensing and adaptive response capabilities,... more

With urban infrastructure accounting for over 40% of global lifecycle carbon emissions, carbon neutrality in this sector has become a core global climate goal. The integration of smart materials (SMs) and digital twin (DT) technology shows great potential for carbon mitigation by optimizing resource use, boosting energy efficiency and advancing circular economy, though existing research... more

Amid rapid urbanization and mounting environmental pressures, urban infrastructure sustainability has become a critical global agenda. While integrating smart materials (SMs) and digital twin (DT) technology is widely acknowledged to boost infrastructure resilience, its potential to drive full-lifecycle sustainability (design, construction, operation, maintenance, deconstruction) remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by constructing a full-lifecycle... more

Against the backdrop of deepening global carbon neutrality commitments, infrastructure’s low-carbon transformation has entered a critical phase of technological breakthroughs and large-scale applications. The synergistic integration of smart materials (SMs) and digital twin (DT) technology, a core technical pathway for infrastructure carbon neutrality, has fostered continuous innovative applications and theoretical achievements. However, current research still... more
