Recent Advances in Concrete Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Concrete is the largest manufactured material globally and it consumes more than 6 billion metric tons of materials annually. The quality and performance of concrete play a vital role in the future challenges and needs of global infrastructure to grow economically.  To compile comprehensive documentation of the recent advances in the field of concrete, the Special Issue “Recent Advances in Concrete Technologies” is dedicated to highlighting advances and innovative research in the field of concrete technology and its applications. It will provide an international forum for the dissemination of innovative and original research and development in the field of concrete technologies. The scope of this special issue includes, but is not restricted to, cement and concrete materials, properties of mortar and concrete, fresh and hardened concrete, durability issues, nano- and micro-structures, new materials, fiber reinforcement, cementitious composites, engineered materials, strain hardened materials, smart materials, sustainability and durability, environmental impact, additives, corrosion technology, waste and recycled materials, non-conventional building materials. Including the applications and monitoring in bridges, high-rise buildings, civil engineering structures, highway pavements, tunnels, dams, water containment structures etc.
