Special Issue on Construction Materials

By virtue of its size, construction is one of the largest users of energy, material resources, and water, and it is a formidable polluter. Until recently, the development of building materials has focused on producing cheaper and more durable construction materials. The major construction materials are crushed rock, gravel, sand, cement, cement concrete, asphalt concrete, timer products, clay brick, concrete block, steel, metals, plastics, paints, glues, and numerous chemical products. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for scientists worldwide to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of construction materials.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring construction materials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Sustainability of construction materials
• Biodeterioration of construction materials
• Concrete technology
• Properties, modeling and testing of construction materials
• Nanotechnology in construction materials
• Construction materials modification
• Types of construction materials
• Repair materials and strengthening methods

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Construction Materials” should be selected during your submission.
