Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human history is a history of continuous development of materials, in which construction and building materials are the main parts of human activity. Climate change and environmental pollution have driven people to find energy-saving, eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable routes of material synthesis and application with the aim of resolving these problems, especially in the field of construction and building materials. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to advance and disseminate knowledge in all the related areas of sustainable construction and building materials. This Special Issue provides essential information that will help improve efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness in world markets. It is therefore vital reading for all professionals and academics involved in research into, or specification of, building materials.
The sustainable construction and building materials and technology covered include cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, phase change materials, recycled materials, bamboo, non-conventional building materials, green building materials, new technology for the improvement of material designs, and other related fields. The scope of this Special Issue includes but is not restricted to construction products, bridges, high-rise buildings, dams, civil engineering structures, silos, highway pavements, tunnels, water containment structures, sewers, roofing, housing, and railways. Original articles with innovative ideas and methods across the whole scope and up-to-date review papers and case studies are welcomed in this Special Issue.
