Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cement-based construction materials are very essential for sustaining our lives and are the most demanding solids in the world. Recent advances in the research of functional construction materials have witnessed continuous development and innovation, especially in the production and utilization of novel materials. This special issue entitled “Research Process Innovations in Functional Construction Materials” is made up for building and showcasing the latest awareness of the broad array of research trends, outcomes, and opportunities regarding the comprehensive areas of functional construction materials. The potential topic of interest of this special issue includes, but are not limited to, processing of functional construction materials; development of functional construction materials; life-cycle assessment of functional construction materials production; novel applications of functional construction materials; high-performance functional construction materials; recycling of functional construction materials; computer-aided approach for the prediction of functional construction materials exposed to harsh conditions; and durability assessment of functional construction materials. Orginal research papers, short communications, state-of-the-art reports, and discussions are all welcomed.
