Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cementitious materials are integral to our built environment, and understanding their evolving trends and future prospects is essential for sustainable development. As global attention shifts toward reducing carbon emissions, the innovation of low-carbon cement alternatives is critical. These materials not only mitigate environmental impact, but also pave the way for greener construction practices.
Additionally, the resilience of cementitious materials under extreme temperature conditions is increasingly vital, enabling infrastructure to withstand both severe heat and cold. Addressing issues of corrosion and fatigue extends the lifespan of structures, ensuring safety and reducing maintenance costs.
This Special Issue delves into these key areas, highlighting breakthroughs in low-carbon technologies, durability in harsh environments, and advancements in corrosion and fatigue resistance. By exploring these topics, we aim to equip researchers, engineers and industry professionals with the knowledge to drive forward a sustainable and resilient future in construction.
