Experimental Study, Numerical Simulation & Structural Applications of Construction Materials—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Construction materials play a critical role in building modern infrastructures, representing an enormous investment in raw materials, energy, and capital, with the result being significant environmental burdens and social costs. In recent decades, novel advanced construction materials and their structural applications have emerged with the support of continuously developing innovative technologies. To achieve higher-performing construction materials and advanced construction technologies, further research has drawn great attention from researchers and the interest of technicians.

After the success of the Special Issue of Materials on “Experimental Study, Numerical Simulation & Structural Applications of Construction Materials”, we are delighted to open this second edition.

This Special Issue of Materials invites original research articles and comprehensive reviews regarding experimental studies, numerical simulations, and structural applications of construction materials.
