Construction and building materials

Construction materials and related technologies represent a quite interesting wide field from scientific, technological and commercial perspectives. They include metal reinforcement, bricks and mortars, masonry, timber, steels (common and stainless steels), polymers, composite fibers green materials, recycled materials. The scope of the special issue includes, but is not restricted to, new constructions and repair & reinforcement of civil engineering structures, infrastructures, silos, highway pavements, tunnels, water containment structures, sewers, bridges. The scope of this special issue embraces interdisciplinary work covering materials science and technological aspects, reporting about experimental and theoretical progress concerning materials microstructure, microstructure–properties relations, microstructure–applications relations.
