Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A recent innovation in concrete materials, technologies and devices has enabled the design, construction, maintenance and recycling of sustainable and durable concrete structures. This Special Issue, entitled ‘Advanced Research on Functional Cement-Based Composites’, aims to introduce the latest developments and advances that address the global sustainability challenges in the life-cycle performance of concrete structures. A total of 25–30 papers will be collected in this Special Issue, which is expected to be published in June 2023. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
▶Self-healing and self-immune cement-based composites;
▶Inspection and assessment of cement-based composites;
▶Protection and strengthening of cement-based composites;
▶Thermal storage cement-based composites;
▶Cement-based composites with recycled materials;
▶Cement-based composites with green materials.
