This edition comprises papers presented at the 14th International Civil Engineering Conference (ICEC 2024) held on November 15-16, 2024, in Karachi, Pakistan. The International Civil Engineering Conference (ICEC) is a series of meetings organized by the Institution of Engineers Pakistan (IEP) and NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi, Pakistan. It has been a regular event for almost two decades now.

The ICEC 2024 theme was "Advancing Civil Engineering: Innovation for Achieving UN Sustainable Goals" to underscore the pivotal role that civil engineering plays in realizing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It highlighted the intersection of technological advancement, sustainable practice, and global development.

By focusing on this theme, the conference aimed to showcase cutting-edge research, share best practices and foster collaboration among professionals, researchers, and policymakers, particularly in the civil engineering field. It also focused on driving forward-thinking solutions that not only address current challenges but also anticipate future needs, ensuring that infrastructure development contributes positively to economic, environmental, and social sustainability.

Advancing civil engineering is not just about building structures, it is rather about creating a sustainable future. The responsibility of the civil engineering community is to foster innovative solutions to support the broader goals of global development and environmental stewardship.
