Reinforced Concrete: Materials, Physical Properties and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Reinforced concrete continues to be the most widely spread material in the construction field. Modern trends in civil engineering pose new challenges in optimizing structures, introducing energy-efficient technologies, creating comfortable conditions for a person's stay. This special issue is aimed at solving urgent problems in the field of innovative methods for the manufacture of reinforced concrete, the use of new materials and technologies, application of modern calculation methods. Papers are invited in which urgent problems of the use of new materials, concrete manufacturing technologies, non-destructive testing methods, determination of physical properties, and new applications are considered. Moreover, articles are welcomed that discuss related processes, modeling the behavior of reinforced concrete structures under unsteady influences, and the use of artificial intelligence algorithms. Case studies describing real-world applications of new technologies are also very welcome.
