Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites contributions focused on Sustainable and Green Building Materials, with a particular emphasis on the use of strategies for decarbonizing the built environment through novel low-carbon construction materials. Topics of interest include cementitious and concrete composites, green concrete technologies, green pavement materials, alternative cementitious materials, geopolymers, 3D printing of cementitious materials, and structural health monitoring and advanced sensing technologies. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue.
