Description:	We are very pleased to introduce the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Civil Engineering for Sustainable Development (ICCESD-2014) which took place in the Department of Civil Engineering, Khulna University of Engineering & Technology, Khulna-9203, Bangladesh, during February 14-16, 2014. The overall goal of this conference was to promote applied research and professional activities relevant to different branches of Civil Engineering for the sustainable development of Bangladesh to face the great challenges of the 21st century. The Civil Engineering discipline is the oldest and vast discipline that includes the broader spectrums of Environmental, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation and Water Resources Engineering. ICCESD always aims at bringing the Researchers, Scientists, Engineers, and Scholars together in all the areas of Civil Engineering, and provides an ideal platform for sharing and exchanging professional, technical and academic knowledge on all aspects of Civil Engineering. We hope and strongly believe that the conference will open a window of exchanging the scientific and technical information among all the participants from home and abroad. At the same time, it is expected to create a common platform for sharing the ideas among the Engineers and Academicians from the developed and developing countries in the world having different experiences in research skills, practices and standards. We also believe that it will promote the international collaboration on sustainable technology in all the branches of Civil Engineering with respect to global warming and climate change. Considering the enormous scope of Civil Engineering discipline, a wide range of thematic areas and expertise are included in the conference. In the event, the conference was highly successful. More than 268 pre-registered authors submitted their works in the conference. ICCESD-14 finally accepted and hosted 171 original research papers, after a double blinded peer review process. During the conference 23 technical sessions were held in order to advance and contribute to specific research areas in the field of Civil Engineering. Finally, it is appropriate that we record our thanks to our fellow members of the Technical and Organizing Committee for their work in securing a substantial input of papers from both in and abroad and in encouraging participation from those areas. We are also indebted to those who served as chairmen in the technical sessions. Without their support, the conference could not have been the success that it was. We also acknowledge the authors themselves, without whose expert input there would have been no conference. We would also like to express our appreciation for the contribution of the Civil Engineering Division, IEB specifically for the logistical arrangements in the conference. Their efforts made a great contribution to its success. We also acknowledge the important contributions of the Editorial Committee in editing and assembling the conference proceedings. The sponsoring facilities offered by Bandar Steel Industries Ltd., Seven Circle Cement Ltd. and Bashundhara Cement are highly appreciated and acknowledged for the successful completion of the conference. The continuing success of this conference series means that planning can now proceed with confidence for the next event to be held in the same place in 12-13 February, 2016.
