Multiphysics Analysis of Construction Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The building sector is experiencing a significant transition nowadays intending to ensure resilient, sustainable, and comfortable housing. Research on construction materials is at the center of this transition, considering the importance of reducing their carbon footprint, enhancing resilience, and ensuring comfort for occupants.

This Special Issue is dedicated to highlighting the recent progress in the field of construction and building materials with high-quality papers. This will allow us to extend the existing literature and provide a better understanding of modern construction materials thanks to multi-physic and multi-scale approaches. More precisely, authors in research fields examining the following subjects are invited to submit their research:

• Thermal, hygrothermal or mechanical characterization of eco-friendly construction materials.
• Experimental or numerical research on innovative construction materials.
• LCA and LCC of sustainable building materials and technologies.
• Innovative procedures to assess construction materials sustainability.
