Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the process of civil engineering construction, the government have been paying been attention to carbon emissions, traffic noise and environmental. Low-carbon materials, environment-friendly materials and the near-zero carbon utilization of solid wastes have been studied by researchers and applied in civil engineering construction. This Special Issue, titled "Application of Environment-Friendly Materials in Civil Engineering", aims to bring together researchers, experts, and practitioners to discuss the latest research findings on the design, mechanical properties, durability, microstructure, and environmental impact of materials used in civil engineering construction.
The Special Issue will cover, but is not limited to, the following:
- Low-carbon utilization of solid wastes;
- Warm mix asphalt technology;
- Reclaimed asphalt pavement;
- High performance asphalt;
- High performance concrete;
- New type sound barrier;
- Micromechanical analysis of asphalt mixtures;
- Finite element analysis of pavement and bridge structure.
