Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As buildings age and urban infrastructure continues to expand, the importance of high-performance building materials and effective strategies for repair and renovation has never been greater. From extending the service life of buildings to improving their sustainability and energy efficiency, innovation in materials and construction techniques is at the heart of modern building science.
This Special Issue of Buildings aims to bring together cutting-edge research and practical insights into the design, application, and performance of both traditional and advanced materials in the context of structural rehabilitation and renewal. We invite original research articles, case studies, and review papers that explore material durability, repair technologies, renovation methods, sustainability considerations, and digital tools for assessment and maintenance.
Topics of interest include—but are not limited to—novel construction materials, eco-friendly and low-carbon repair techniques, structural health monitoring, and smart solutions for long-term performance.
We look forward to your contributions, which will help shape a more resilient, adaptive, and sustainable built environment.
