Development, Characterization, Application and Recycling of Novel Construction Materials, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

Hardcover. In the evolving field of materials science and engineering, innovation and sustainability are crucial to addressing environmental challenges and improving resource efficiency. This Special Issue provides a platform for the dissemination of high-quality research focused on materials, cement, and waste reuse within the context of sustainable construction. It covers a broad range of topics, including the formulation and design of eco-friendly materials, advanced characterization techniques, and the evaluation of durability and long-term performance under various environmental and mechanical conditions, potentially supported by numerical modeling. Conventional and alternative binders, such as geopolymers and earth-based materials, as well as the role of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in enhancing performance while reducing environmental impact are also a point of focus. Particular attention is given to the valorization of sediments, clays, and industrial waste, alongside innovative strategies for waste treatment and reuse in construction applications.
